The National takes a look at the emerging disaster in the northeast African nation of South Sudan as its people struggle with famine. Featured in this panel discussion: Samantha Nutt, War Child Canada; Brian Stewart, a former foreign correspondent for CBC who covered the 1984 famine in Ethiopia; and Kennedy Jawoko, a journalism professor at Seneca College who was in South Sudan researching ways journalists cover food security. They discuss the long-term effects of civil war, displacement, climate change and poor governance, and what Canadians can do to support the South Sudanese.
