With the ongoing civil war in South Sudan, the team working on the radio soap opera, Sawa Shabab, has a totally different battle on its hands. Under the leadership of Afro‑American Lizzie Lacey, the actors are putting their hearts and souls into building peace in South Sudan. “Everyone loves Sawa Shabab.”
Can you still follow your dreams growing up in a country torn by years of civil war? In an attempt to answer this question, on 9 May of this year, Free Press Unlimited launched the programme ‘Sawa Shabab’ (‘Youth Together’) in collaboration with the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP). This new radio drama series offers fresh perspectives to the youth of South Sudan and shows them that they can have a positive impact on their environment.
