They call themselves the Sunrise Generation. Their objective is to mobilise the youth of South Sudan to critically evaluate the successes and failures of the leaders currently in power who are accused of perpetuating the civil war for nearly four years.

The South Sudan Young Leaders Forum (SSYLF), which was set up January, is led by Peter Biar Ajak, a PhD student at Trinity College, University of Cambridge.
