This is the youngest country in the world having attained its independence as recently as 2011. It was all joy and cheers when they seceded from Sudan but all this was all short lived when the reality that they had a government to run and infrastructure to build set in. It lacked proper government structures and those in power took advantage of this to exploit the countries resources to their benefit. They acquired resources for themselves in the wrong way and therefore South Sudan makes it into the list of the top 10 most corrupt countries in the world. The common people suffered as a result and as we speak there is civil unrest in this young country as the people fight for the control of this country.
