Enough Project's video: John Prendergast at USIP Not On Our Watch in South Sudan 12 08 16

South Sudan is at risk of genocide, according to the United Nations Special Advisor on the Prevention of Genocide. A steady process of ethnic cleansing is underway in several areas of the country, through starvation, gang rape and the burning of villages, the U.N. Commission on Human Rights warned in South Sudan last week. In the wake of the de-facto collapse of the 2015 peace deal, new action is needed urgently to prevent further deterioration in South Sudan’s humanitarian, political, economic and security crises. Please join the U.S. Institute of Peace and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum on December 8 for a discussion with experts about the risks for mass violence and options for upholding the shared U.S. and global responsibility to prevent genocide.
