South Sudan Activists Hope to Unify Divided Nation

Chika Oduah

   JUBA - After years of civil war, South Sudan's new transitional unity
   government is urging citizens to work towards reconciliation and
   forgive perpetrators of violence. Several public and private
   initiatives are in place to help the South Sudanese people build a
   peaceful future. But will the measures work in a nation with so many
   deep scars?

   gazing at photos of his slain cousin, who was killed as a soldier
   fighting in the civil war that broke out in 2013.
