On November 11, 2005, the U.S. established a consulate in Juba following the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) which officially ended the civil war in Sudan. [1] The United States played an instrumental role in supporting the CPA that led to the 2011 South Sudanese independence referendum, in which voters overwhelmingly chose independence for South Sudan. [2] On July 9, 2011, the United States recognized the newly declared Republic of South Sudan as a sovereign and independent state, simultaneously upgrading the existing U.S. Consulate General in Juba to the status of a U.S. Embassy. [1] R. Barrie Walkley served as Chargé d’Affaires until Susan D. Page was confirmed as the first U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of South Sudan on October 18, 2011. [1] [3] [4] [5]
