Ten Years after Independence

Join the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the Simon-Skjodt Center for the Prevention of Genocide for a virtual event to mark the ten-year anniversary of South Sudanese independence and discuss the current risks of mass atrocities that civilians face.

Hear from South Sudanese experts about the urgent need to prioritize atrocity prevention and justice efforts in the country, the current threats to civilians, and their vision for a more peaceful and just future. A representative from the State Department will discuss what the US government is doing to prevent future mass atrocities in South Sudan, while helping victims and survivors seek justice.

The event will take place on The Simon-Skjodt Center for the Prevention of Genocide's Facebook page. You do not need to have a Facebook account to view the program.
