Date: 2014-05-22

Ambassador Princeton N. Lyman, the U.S. Special Envoy to Sudan and South Sudan from March 2011 to March 2013, recently gave his perspective on some of the causes of South Sudan's rapid slide into violence that began in December, 2013, and on how it might have been prevented. He was speaking on a panel on peacebuilding and democracy in Africa, part of a day-long conference on the new frontiers of peacebuilding co-hosted by the U.S. Institute of Peace and the Alliance for Peacebuilding. Lyman is now a senior advisor to the president of the U.S. Institute of Peace.
