Descrição Cédula
SOUTH SUDAN Egypt attempted to colonize the region of southern Sudan by establishing the province of Equatoria in the 1870s. Islamic Mahdist revolutionaries overran the region in 1885, but in 1898 a British force was able to overthrow the Mahdist regime. An Anglo-Egyptian Sudan was established the following year with Equatoria being the southernmost of its eight provinces. The isolated region was largely left to itself over the following decades, but Christian missionaries converted much of the population and facilitated the spread of English. When Sudan gained its independence in 1956, it was with the understanding that the southerners would be able to participate fully in the political system. When the Arab Khartoum government reneged on its promises, a mutiny began that led to two prolonged periods of conflict (1955-1972 and 1983-2005) in which perhaps 2.5 million people died - mostly civilians - due to starvation and drought. Ongoing peace talks finally resulted in a Comprehensive Peace Agreement, signed in January 2005. As part of this agreement the south was granted a six-year period of autonomy to be follwed by a referendum on final status. The result of this referendum, held in January 2011, was a vote of 98% in favor of secession. Independence was attained on 9 July 2011. MONETARY SYSTEM: 1 South Sudanese Pound = 100 Piasters
Descrição Moeda
Originally known as Equatoria, the southern most of eight provinces making up Sudan after its independence was achieved in 1956, South Sudan endured decades of struggle, civil war, drought and starvation, resulting in over 2 million deaths. Autonomy and political rights were finally brought to Equatoria through peace talks in 2005 with a final referendum scheduled after six years. In January 2011 the residents of Equatoria voted 98% in favor of secession from Sudan. Independence was secured on July 9, 2011. Economic hardships, rebel militia groups, disruption of oil production and resulting humanitarian concerns caused displacement of population and food shortages from 2011-2015 when peace talks finally brought about a new transitional government of national unity in April 2016. The peace has been very short lived however, as fighting between two of the principle signatory groups of that peace treaty resumed hostilities in July 2016. South Sudan has a population of roughly 12.5 million made up of over 20 ethnic groups speaking English and Arabic primarily as well as various regional languages. Crude oil is a major export at nearly 100,000 barrels a day. Agricultural capabilities are very strong for the region, but hampered by continued conflict and economic instability. Considerable national debt and extreme inflation continue to challenge South Sudan in its progress. Attempts at establishing a circulating currency for South Sudan were made in 2012, but no coins were issued. On July 9, 2015 a series of five circulating denominations were issued bearing the 2015 date, the legend Republic of South Sudan and the National Arms on the obverse. Each reverse depicts an appropriate regional theme. MONETARY SYSTEM 100 Piastres (Piasters) = 1 Pound REPUBLIC DECIMAL COINAGE 100 Piasters (Piastres) = 1 Pound
