Episode 27: Voice 64 asks: Is South Sudan’s Revitalized Peace Agreement alive or dead?

Voice 64 asks: Is South Sudan’s Revitalized Peace Agreement alive or dead? A fearless dive into politics, power, and the silencing of hope.

Episode Summary:

In this episode of Voice 64, we confront the haunting question: Is the Revitalized Peace Agreement alive—or already buried? Once hailed as South Sudan’s chance to end years of conflict, the agreement has been weakened by broken promises, power struggles, and the silencing of its own signatories.

Through bold questions and unapologetic truth-telling, we explore how peace has been hijacked, how generals continue to overshadow the people, and why the dream of democracy keeps slipping further from reach. This isn’t just a debate about documents—it’s about whether South Sudan can escape its cycle of war and authoritarian rule. More at voice64.com.
