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.
