To begin a guerrilla movement whose objective was to destroy the government and its military authority in the South was not an easy task. The Anya-Nya had to take up arms against a numerically superior Sudanese army that was well trained and well equipped. The Southerners, who had few financial and material resources, had to start a liberation movement from scratch. After the 1955 mutiny at Torit, the Southerners—former servicemen in the Equatoria Corps and the police, prison, and wildlife forces—needed arms before they could launch any real challenge to the Sudanese army. Consequently, the Anya-Nya forces and weapons varied according to the political, economic, and military circumstances in each locality or region of Southern Sudan.
