WEBCAST live 10:00am EDST on May 15, 2014 Violence continues to tear South Sudan apart, while negotiations between the government and armed opposition have made little tangible progress. Furthermore, the coming rains could produce a humanitarian disaster. Amid deepening despair, it is more important than ever to listen to those who are not involved in the fighting. As a young country itself, South Sudans civil society is still nascent, but stands to play a critical role in addressing the current crisis and speak for people desperately seeking a better future. Please join the U.S. Institute of Peace for a discussion with four of South Sudans leading civil society representatives, who will share their visions for how the country can move forward and recover from the recent turmoil and devastation. Featured Speakers: David Deng Research Director, South Sudan Law Society Lona James Executive Director, Voice for Change and Civil Society Activities Rev. James Ninrew Executive Director, Assistance Mission for Africa Edmund Yakani Executive Director, Community Empowerment for Progress Organization
