On Saturday December 13th, we will be hosting “Sudan meets South Sudan” at the Open Culture Office in Berlin, a special meet-and-greet featuring Human Rights Defenders Onor Hamad and Khadiga Mustafa from Port Sudan, alongside Yine Yenki from Juba, South Sudan. The event will be moderated by Desmond Ngala director of Association Civic Watch and Country Project Manager of Cameroon.

This is an informal yet special get-together - an opportunity to share experiences, discuss the status and challenges in both countries, and perhaps the region's future.

The event will be live on-site, and not streamed. Entry is free, but please register via [email protected] in advance as space is limited.
