Academic Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Organisation and administration - Public safety and order, grade: A, , course: Security and Strategic Studies, language: English, abstract: The study wholly focuses on the impacts of Small Arms and Light Weapons Proliferation on the National Security and the Emergence of Unknown Gunmen in South Sudan. The country had been hit by strings of armed conflicts such as inter communal violence, target killings, assassinations, cattle raids, insurgency and rebellions, highway robberies etc. The socio-political and economic situation the country is going through is seen as a benefactor of the SALWS Proliferations aiding the prevalence of Unknown Gunmen.The research however seeks to answer how? Where? Why? When? What are the causes of SALWS proliferation and their impact on the National Security; it examines the role of the National Army known as the South Sudan People’s Defence Force, the National Security Service and the Law Enforcement Organizations in the proliferations and how their failure to maintain law and order in the country had contributed to the emergence of Unknown Gunmen. It further explores the role played by political and tribal leaders especially in the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement, the ruling party in the country and across the country.Nevertheless, it critically analyzes the political, social and economic impacts leading to the emergence of Unknown Gunmen and concludes that the lack of political-will by the leaders emanated in the socio-economic crumple, rampant corruption and tribalism in the government institutions and in the Armed Forces, National Security and Law Enforcement Agencies had played a greater role in the impediment of the rule of law which thereof resulted into rampant insecurity and sped up the emergence of Unknown Gunmen
