Mr. Arnauld Akodjenou, the Regional Refugee Coordinator for South Sudan Situation and Special Advisor to the High Commissioner was in Ottawa to press the Trudeau government for more Canadian involvement in South Sudan’s five-year civil war, which has killed 400,000 and forced 2.2 million people to flee the country, while displacing 1.9 million more inside the country. Of the refugees, 80 per cent are women and children, he said, which makes South Sudan a perfect policy fit for the newly branded Canadian policy of focusing foreign aid on helping women and girls.
