What is murahaleen?

In Southern Sudan rebel groups arose to fight for greater political control and increased access to the resources controlled by ruling elites in Khartoum. The government in Khartoum responded by arming and training ethnically-based militias and granting them impunity to murder, rape, forcibly displace, and loot property from civilians the government accuses of supporting the rebellion. During the civil war in southern Sudan, the government armed Arab militias called the Murahaleen, meaning traveler, to attack the SPLA and the Dinka people, who were seen as rebels to the government. The Government of Sudan allowed the Murahaleen militias to take slaves. The Murahaleen raided Dinka villages, like Achak's hometown Marial Bai, in southern Sudan. They would also kidnapped civilians for these Dinka villages, and then sell them for domestic labor or fieldwork in the north. Mostly all Murahaleen soldiers were Muslim seeing as they were all from the north and northern Sudan was mostly Muslim.

Why is there still conflict in South Sudan if the whole reason that South Sudan became independent was to escape violence perpetrated by the Sudanese governemnt?

The two conflicts are different and based in different issues.The primary conflict over the previous decades was between the Sudanese government in Khartoum, which espoused an Arab-Supremacist and Muslim-Supremacist Policy and the South Sudanese tribes which were Black African Christians. That conflict did indeed end with the independence of South Sudan. (The Darfur Conflict/Genocide, which was caused for the same Arab-Supremacist reasons, even though Darfurians are Muslims, continued because Darfur is not part of South Sudan.)The current conflict is a conflict between the two largest Black African tribal groups, the Dinka, who are the majority and represented by South Sudanese President Salva Kiir Mayardit, and the Nuer ethnic group. The Nuer feel that the Dinka-led government is working insufficiently to protect the property of the Nuer and so the Nuer are fighting for the preservation of their livelihoods. The Dinka-led government has attempted to protect Nuer rights, but has been attacked by the Nuer White Army in several incidents.
