The United States played a key role in South Sudanese independence, which was decided in a 2011 referendum, and provided diplomatic support and humanitarian aid. Prior to the outbreak of the civil war in 2013, the United States supported and advocated for the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM), which became the new country’s government. Though largely taking a back seat in meditation efforts run by the Intergovernmental Authority for Development (IGAD) and neighboring countries in, its internal stabilization the United States and its international partners have an interest in ensuring a lasting settlement to the present conflict in South Sudan, addressing the humanitarian crisis caused by the civil war, and preventing destabilizing regional spillover.

Соединённые Штаты сыграли ключевую роль в предоставлении независимости Южному Судану, решение о котором было принято на проведённом в 2011 г. референдуме, и оказали ему дипломатическую поддержку и гуманитарную помощь. До начала гражданской войны в 2013 г. Соединённые Штаты поддерживали Народно-освободительное движение Судана (НОДС), ставшее правительством нового государства. Несмотря на то что США и их международные партнёры отошли на второй план в усилиях, предпринимаемых Межправительственным органом по вопросам развития, МОВР (Intergovernmental Authority for Development, IGAD) и соседними странами в стабилизации там внутриполитической обстановки, Соединённые Штаты по-прежнему заинтересованы в урегулировании нынешнего конфликта в Южном Судане, а также в устранении последствий гуманитарного кризиса, вызванного гражданской войной и в предотвращении его разрушительных последствий в регионе.
