The inaugural APS has generated interesting conversation between two different generations of South Sudanese and Sudanese as can be seen in these videos from the perspective of the older generation Dr Deng- (see 7:40-8:40) and the present generation Catherine - (see 1:40-3:20)

Share your views on how you think the task of nation-building in both countries can be approached to deliver progressive peace and collective prosperity
