Implication

Mixed-methods research shows low success rates in civilian disarmament efforts, indicating ethnic factors complicate small arms proliferation.

Key Points

  • Successful civilian disarmament remains elusive, with approximately 1.9 million small arms still circulating in South Sudan.
  • The study emphasizes that ethnicity significantly shapes security perceptions and behaviors within communities.
  • Mixed-methods research involving 350 community members confirms the effectiveness of traditional leaders in promoting peace.
  • Traditional leaders' involvement is essential in tailoring disarmament efforts to distinct ethnic group needs.
