I attended the South Sudan Crisis Forum, held at St. Olaf College this past month,
January 2014. I had heard about this forum by way student
representatives who had a “music booth” set-up in the Buntrock Commons
student center of St. Olaf College. Their incredible compassion for the crisis and
gratefulness towards my interest, inspired me to attend.
At the Forum:
It was brought to my attention that with the new government ruler
taking position in South Sudan, a unrest has arisen, and crisis has ensued with the
death of around 10,000 people.
At the forum, witnesses to the murder of innocent people in South Sudan
spoke of their experiences, while St. Olaf students listened. Professors offered
their insight into conflict and peacekeeping process, and brought ideas to the table
on how to help.
