DESCRIPTION:A panel discussion and documentary screening on South Sudan wi
 th:\nMajak D'Agoot (former Deputy Minister of Defence)\nPeter Biar Ajak (P
 OLIS Phd student) \nSharath Srinivasan (Director\, CGHR - Chair)\n\nMajak 
 D'Agoot\, former deputy minister of defence (and former deputy director of
  national intelligence and security services in the 'old' Sudan) argues th
 at South Sudan will never be stable\, nor will the state and new polity fo
 rm\, with a 'gun class' in charge. The current ruling elites\, both in gov
 ernment and opposition\, need to be replaced. But how\, and by whom?\n\nMa
 jak D'Agoot is part of the Group of Ten (G10)\, a group of senior politica
 l leaders who fell out with the ruling SPLM under President Kiir\, but als
 o did not join the rebellion that began in late 2013 under Vice President 
 Riek Machar. Out of power and out of the power plays over political contro
 l that depend on guns\, some in his group have been advocating for version
 s of 'neo-trusteeship' for South Sudan. Would this work and what would it 
 mean?\n\nPeter Biar Ajak is a PhD student in POLIS\, working on state form
 ation in South Sudan and the legacies of the SPLA's practice of politics d
 uring the war. He is also founder of South Sudan Wrestling Entertainment\,
  which is a non-profit organisation that uses the traditional sport of wre
 stling to promote peace and reconciliation among the tribes of South Sudan
