Explanation / Answer
Dear student…while I tried my best to give you the answers, there are a few questions that refer to your classroom teaching on the subject. Hence, I request you to please answer those questions on your own (since I wasn’t present in your class…LOL). For rest of the questions, I’ve provided answers below-
Summary:
In 2011, South Sudan gained independence from Sudan after holding a separate referendum on this issue.
After a referendum, in which an overwhelming majority of South Sudanese voted to secede, Africa's newest country came into existence. However, two Sudanese provinces, South Kordofan and Blue Nile, the people of which predominantly wanted to become citizens of the new nation, were excluded from the deal. The SPLM-N, the northern affiliate of Sudan's People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) in South Sudan, consequently took up arms against the Sudanese government of President Omar al-Bashir, and the armed conflict commenced.
This war was fought on two fronts by the Sudanese government. The first is their conventional war with the SPLM North's army, the SPLA-N.
But the government's second front is far less conventional. It is a war against civilians. A war fought using bombs dropped randomly on civilian targets. Schools, hospitals and farmsteads were destroyed by government bombing.

4.Qu. On stress on environment
