Nicholas Coughlan, author of Collapse of a Country: A Diplomat's Memoir of South Sudan, will join two other speakers for this talk focusing on South Sudan and East Africa.

South Sudan has been in crisis almost since its independence was secured from Sudan in 2011. The country has fragmented along ethnic lines and sunk into a vicious civil war. Efforts to revive a 2015 peace agreement have to date been in vain despite the presence of a major UN peacekeeping mission (UNMISSS). What are the factors that have produced this crisis and what are the implications for other fragile states in East Africa? CIC Vancouver has assembled three experts to provide insights into all these issues and provide answers to your questions.
