Southern Sudan (Arabic: حكومة جنوب السودان‎ ‎ "Ḥukūmat Janūb al-Sūdān") was an autonomous region consisting of the ten southern states of Sudan between its formation in July 2005 and independence as the Republic of South Sudan in July 2011.
 The autonomous government was initially established in Rumbek and later moved to Juba.
 It was bordered by Ethiopia to the east; Kenya, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the south; and the Central African Republic to the west.
 To the north lies the predominantly Arab and Muslim region directly under the control of the central government.
 The region's autonomous status was a condition of a peace agreement between the Sudan People's Liberation Army/Movement (SPLA/M) and the Government of Sudan represented by the National Congress Party ending the Second Sudanese Civil War.
 The conflict was Africa's longest running civil war.
The Kafia Kingi (Arabic: كافيا كنجي‎ ‎ ) area is a disputed mineral-rich region on the border between Sudan and South Sudan.
 It was due to be given to South Sudan under the terms of the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement which required use of the Sudan "north-south line" as of "January 1, 1956".
 It was not until 1960 that the Kafia Kingi area was transferred north of that line and added to Darfur.
 Sudan controls all or most of this area today, though at times since independence South Sudan forces have briefly controlled large portions.

The Anglo-Egyptian Sudan (Arabic: السودان الإنجليزي المصري‎ ‎ "as-Sūdān al-Inglīzī al-Maṣrī ") was a condominium of the United Kingdom and Egypt in the eastern Sudan region of northern Africa between 1899 and 1956, but in practice the structure of the condominium ensured full British control over the Sudan.
 It attained independence as the Republic of the Sudan, which since 2011 has been split into Sudan and South Sudan.

The New Sudan Education Initiative (NESEI) is a non-profit organization based in Colchester, Vermont in the United States, which is building secondary schools (high schools) throughout South Sudan, a region affected by war for nearly half a century.
 It was founded in January 2006 by Atem Deng, a former Sudanese refugee, and Robert Lair, a social entrepreneur and educator.
 The organization was created after a Comprehensive Peace Agreement was signed in 2005, bringing the conflict in southern Sudan to an official close.
 The CPA created a critical opportunity for development to take place in this region.
 In 2004, Deng and Lair asked Sudanese they met at refugee camps throughout East Africa what was most needed in their homeland.
 "Education" was the resounding answer they received.
 South Sudan currently suffers from some of the worst education access rates in the world.
 Female illiteracy hovers above 93%, and only 5% of young people graduate from high school.
 It was from these discussions with Sudanese refugees that they developed NESEI.
 The organization opened its first school in May 2008, near the town of Yei, and it currently plans to build 20 schools throughout South Sudan.
