Humanitarian aid is not exempt, reveals a major new mapping report by DIIS and IPIS.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When South Sudan became independent ten years ago, oil revenues were supposed to fuel the economy of the world\u2019s newest country. But two years later in 2013, oil prices plummeted, the South Sudanese pound deflated, and civil war resumed. While elites in Juba split the remaining oil revenues, ground-level civil servants, soldiers and rebels have to get by in other ways. They complement their absent or deflated salary through <strong>decentralized predation on long-distance trade<\/strong>. As a result, <strong>since independence in 2011, the number of checkpoints has nearly doubled while checkpoint taxes have increased 300%.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the past two years, <strong>we have mapped 319 checkpoints along major trade routes in South Sudan<\/strong>, of which 253 (79%) are roadblocks and 66 (21%) river checkpoints. Government soldiers and civil authorities control most of the checkpoints along overland routes, while the SPLA\/M in opposition, led by Riek Machar, controls slightly more than half of the checkpoints along river routes: the White Nile, its branch the El Zeraf, and the Sobat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ipisresearch-dashboard.shinyapps.io\/ssd_checkpoints_webmap\/\">An interactive webmap<\/a><\/strong> visualizes all these checkpoints and provides as some primary data that we collected per checkpoint, including the operators, taxation levels, and waiting times. Furthermore, a set of filters (e.g. per route and per operator) allows the user produce some graphics and statistics per route, per operator, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-cbcdc57d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/ipisresearch-dashboard.shinyapps.io\/ssd_checkpoints_webmap\/\" style=\"background-color:#fa784a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Explore our interactive checkpoint map of South Sudan here<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ipisresearch-dashboard.shinyapps.io\/ssd_checkpoints_webmap\/\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/WebMap-S-Sudan-1024x640.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/WebMap-S-Sudan-1024x640.png 1024w, https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/WebMap-S-Sudan-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/WebMap-S-Sudan-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/WebMap-S-Sudan-1536x960.png 1536w, https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/WebMap-S-Sudan.png 1958w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:34px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on averages, <strong>a typical checkpoint in South Sudan<\/strong> is manned by 6 people, and levies about SSP 48,000 (USD 80). But as vehicles typically travel long distances, <strong>total checkpoint taxes for a trip can be enormous<\/strong>. Take the White Nile. Barges typically shuttle between Bor and Renk carrying humanitarian aid or foodstuff, and for the entire return journey each barge will pay about 211 at each of the 33 checkpoints, totaling a stunning USD 10,000 for a round trip. Similarly, while checkpoints on the road between Juba and Bentiu on average charge a truck about USD 21, the total journey involves passing 80 checkpoints\u2014meaning a return journey easily costs over 3,000 USD in checkpoint taxes. <strong>This makes transport in South Sudan amongst the most expensive in the world, only rivalled by Afghanistan and the DR Congo.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IPIS and DIIS developed <strong>a detailed analytical report<\/strong> presenting the results of the research, including a wide range of statistics, graphs, and maps. Furthermore, the report provides an analysis on the drivers and impacts of the phenomenon of checkpoints in South Sudan. For those, who would like to have a <strong>brief overview<\/strong> of the findings and analysis, we advise to consult the \u2018summary report\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"742\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Front-Checkpoints-S-Sudan-full-742x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23485\" style=\"width:444px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Front-Checkpoints-S-Sudan-full-742x1024.png 742w, https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Front-Checkpoints-S-Sudan-full-217x300.png 217w, https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Front-Checkpoints-S-Sudan-full-768x1060.png 768w, https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Front-Checkpoints-S-Sudan-full.png 1058w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 742px) 100vw, 742px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-3e41869c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/2021-South-Sudan-Checkpoint-Economy-Full-Report.pdf\" style=\"background-color:#fa784a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download the full report<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"760\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Front-Checkpoints-S-Sudan-summary-760x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23488\" style=\"width:477px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Front-Checkpoints-S-Sudan-summary-760x1024.png 760w, https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Front-Checkpoints-S-Sudan-summary-223x300.png 223w, https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Front-Checkpoints-S-Sudan-summary-768x1035.png 768w, https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Front-Checkpoints-S-Sudan-summary.png 1052w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-3e41869c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/2021-South-Sudan-Checkpoint-Economy-Summary-Report.pdf\" style=\"background-color:#fa784a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download the summary report<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:23px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report reveals <strong>the implication of humanitarian organizations in the checkpoint economy<\/strong>.
