About us
Shifting the focus in South Sudan
Ira Porter
Rebuilding after fires in LA. Fraud in Minnesota. Name-calling in France. Our stories come from near and far today, but my favorite is from Juba, South Sudan. Writer Caitlin Kelly takes us to Nyakuron Cultural Centre, where each week, youthful 20-somethings who remember a country at war lift their voices in song, rap, and poetry. People in South Sudan are represented in 64 tribes. Differences contributed to a five-year civil war that killed more than 400,000 people. Today, during war鈥檚 respite, young people are doing the work to find more in common. People such as rapper Wigo Young Soon are making this come to fruition.
鈥淲e thought: How can we bring back smiles,鈥� he told the Monitor.
