Conflict is never only about guns. Guns are the loud part. The deeper part is division. Division is what teaches a neighbor to look at a neighbor and see an enemy. Division is what turns a rumor into a reason to kill. Division is what makes a small dispute grow into a revenge cycle. In…

In South Sudan, leadership is not mainly learned in offices. It is learned in villages that have survived displacement. It is learned in markets where women sell small items to feed families.
