'Those who have lived in prolonged situations of violence may have forgotten -- or may never have learned -- the norms of a civilized society'

The country itself is young, having split from Sudan only in 2011. But years of conflict in Sudan, and a four-year civil war within the brand-new nation, have severely damaged the social and institutional fabric in ways that endanger basic human rights, particularly children’s. And a generation raised amid violence and fear faces particular challenges down the road, from psychological recovery, to education, to economic productivity.  Christian Science Monitor
