“We cannot give up because it is imperative that we all stand in solidarity with the people of South Sudan -- the refugees who are outside and who will go back and those who are inside and displaced. We need to help them find their lot in life, to help them rebuild their country and live in peace and harmony and to enjoy the beautiful South Sudan and all that it has to offer them.” Meet Ann Encontre, our Regional Refugee Coordinator for South Sudan. Ann does not want you to give up. Ongoing fighting in South Sudan has forced more than half a million people outside the borders of the world’s newest nation. Unless the hostilities end and a peace agreement is reached, hundreds of thousands more civilians could be uprooted before the end of the year. Today, more than ever, South Sudanese refugees need the support of the international community.
