Sudan has hit the public's attention for all the wrong reasons. Headlines rife with reports of brutal violence, a massive humanitarian crisis and
ongoing political chaos question whether true peace is at all possible. Although ceasefires and peace agreements have been been signed by president
Salva Kiir Mayardit and his opponent, former vice president Riek Machar, a viable solution for solving the conflict is yet to be found.</div><div class="">
<br class=""><span style="color:#000000;" class=""> On July 8th, the eve of South Sudan's third independance day we turn our view to the broader forms of active public
interaction with the current situation both inside and outside the country. What role, for example, does the international diaspora play in either
fueling the conflict or re-establishing peace? In what may be an increasingly globally manipulated conflict, waged in part by the ubiquity of social
media, what are the creative means that can be found to counter hate speech and directed campaigns that incite violence on the ground? How can we
harness the power of new media to open up civil society? And what are the chances and challenges that South Sudanese youth see for the future of
their country ... can they play a stronger, more influential role to #DefyHateNow?</span><br class="">
