Informative and educational as John always is. Very grateful John opened the interview by celebrating the signficance of the peaceful referendum in South Sudan and its nearly 100% participation. Equally grateful he closed the interview by celebrating the amazing capacity the people of Africa have in transforming to new and better lives. They seem to have an infinite capacity to reconcile, forgive and move forward collectively, even after the most severe conditions of war and unimaginable human suffering. It seems too often, that as a global society, we don't acknowledge, celebrate and learn from these amazing victories on the side of good. Well done and thank you!
