Peace and Reconciliation in South Sudan

The Sudd Institute, an independent research organization based in Juba, published a report dated 7 June 2013 titled "Peace and Reconciliation in South Sudan: A Conversation for Justice and Stability."

The report concludes there must be a national dialogue aimed at repairing relations among South Sudanese communities.  The report explains why the dialogue is needed, what it means to South Sudan, how to conduct it, who participates and who should lead it.  The report argues that while the top political leadership of South Sudan must put its moral weight behind the project, it should not be in charge of the peace and reconciliation program.
