Youths activate #defyhate campaign in Juba

Civil society activists in Juba have once again come together to fight back against hatred in a nationwide campaign, designed to promote peace.

An initiative under the title, hash tag defies hate - #defyhate mounted last month has been accelerated and the programs director, James Bidal, said the aim is to encourage positive messaging for peace to pave way for unity and development.

"Whatever we are posting should be something positive, something encouraging that can restore peace." he said.

Bidal spoke to Miraya Breakfast Show host, Sani Martin, and said the counter-measure shows that people should be able to tell the story of South Sudan differently.
