ALD panel session on South Sudan

The conflict in South Sudan has entered its fourth year and the situation continues to deteriorate for many desperate civilians. There is an urgent need for the citizens of the East African region to impress upon their leaders the urgency and unacceptability of the situation and to call them to action to end the suffering. This week on ALD, we focus on the crisis in South Sudan. Julie Gichuru moderates a panel session that includes
Peter Biar Ajak, Senior Advisor, International Growth Centre. He is also a fellow of the Archbishop Tutu Leadership Programme
Nyagoah Tut, Sudan/South Sudan Campaigner, Amnesty International
Aly Verjee, Former Ag Chief of Staff, Joint Monitoring & Evaluation Commission and Former Political Advisor to the IGAD Mediation for South Sudan. He is also a Fellow of the Rift Valley Institute

True, it's like we assumed S.Sudan will 'sort itself' , I'm sure some people even thought the conflict ended with the agreement. Kenyans need to see this conversation. Because with the political heat going up by the day, its easy to forget how quickly the conflict can escalate to war, and it will take alot to go back to the peace and freedom we know now.
