Rule of law in South Sudan: a refugee perspective


Rule of law in South Sudan: a refugee perspective

'The rule of law is on the slope to dying, or if it is already dead it is about to be buried.'
In May of 2018, I spoke with Mr Charles Khasif in a refugee settlement in Uganda. He is a lawyer, pastor and now refugee from South Sudan. He used to work as a lawyer and later as a land dispute resolver, but he was attacked and so he decided to run to Uganda. Because of his unique fields of expertise, I felt he was the perfect person to ask about his views on the rule of law in South Sudan, how that relates to displacement, and where a reversal of this abysmal situation could start. Lastly, Mr Khasif calls on us all to have sympathy with the people of South Sudan.
