After three years of grassroots deliberations, South Sudan’s National Dialogue conference opened in Juba on November 3 amid doubts it will contribute to lasting peace.
The conference is billed as the precursor for national healing since the war broke out in 2013 and a springboard for the long-awaited constitutional review. It will last until November 15 and will hold discussions on the governance system, economy, national security, land issues, and social cohesion.
