Sudan's Prolonged Second Civil War and the Militarization of Nuer and Dinka Ethnic Identities, Jok Madut Jok and Sharon E. Hutchinson's 1999 peer reviewed article in African Studies Review, Cambridge University Press, shows how the 1991 political fracture of the Sudan People's Liberation Army became militarized and ethnicized along Nuer Dinka lines, the underlying scholarship for the claim that South Sudan's civil war reporting frequently mistook a political conflict for an ethnic one. Its strength is that it is the underlying peer reviewed scholarship for that specific claim. Its limit is that it focuses on the 1991 fracture specifically; the war's fuller history needs a broader source.
