Today, on the fourth anniversary of South Sudan’s independence, the Luol Deng Foundation is announcing South Sudan Unite, an event in Washington, D.C. to unite the South Sudanese diaspora in support of peace and reconciliation. The event will include live music from five South Sudanese artists, a high-end fashion show, and an inaugural workshop for its Peace Ambassadors initiative. South Sudan Unite will take place at George Washington University’s Lisner Auditorium on August 29, 2015.

In the eyes of the world, the conflict in South Sudan is an international issue that the government and rebels involved should resolve.
