The lecturer is a Rotary Peace Fellow and a graduate student of Peace and Conflict studies at ICU’s graduate school. He is from South Sudan. He experienced life as an IDP and a refugee for several years in the past. As a witness, he will talk about what he and his family experienced, and why he studies in Japan. He will also highlight the current situation of IDPs and refugees in South Sudan.
