Since Sudanese's independence in 1956, the southern region has negatively affected by a number of conflicts (civil wars) and this has resulted in serious neglect, lack of infrastructure development, and major destructions and displacements. More than 2 million people have died, and about 4 million are internally displaced and others became refugees. Due to the long term conflict between the Sudan's Muslim north and Christian south, a Comprehensive Peace
Agreement (CPA) in 2005 was reached up on by the two parties (the south and the north) to give people from the south a large degree of autonomy and chance to vote for full independence in 2011 after six years of home rule. In January 2011, the South voted for independence and it is currently a sovereign state and it has got fully fledged government organs and ministries. Among other ministries, is the ministry of public services. Among other, responsibilities, the ministry of public services is charged with the task of recruiting and over seeing the operations and activities of public employees.
