Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The Canadian Ambassador to South Sudan, Aly-Khan, has encouraged the students to take an active role in societal rebuilding.<\/p>\n

He stated that the country cannot truly achieve long-term peace if the next generation is not peaceful for themselves.<\/p>\n

The envoy made the call during his one-day visit to the Luol Deng Foundation Sports, Diplomacy, and Peace class at the University of Juba on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI learned from some of you today about mental health and other issues that affect everybody. Sometimes we used to think it was not my problem; it was other people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe stigma associated with mental health and being forthcoming acknowledges that sometimes we need to deal with our own issues first. I have also learned today that we cannot really effectively engage in building peace if we are not peaceful for ourselves,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

His visit was to familiarise himself with the work and what the kids were learning, as well as to hear what was going on and what the sessions were about.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was a student leader in my student union in Canada from a very young age.\u201d What I truly learnt is that if you come with a message, something you believe in, and something that everyone values, you will lead and people will follow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amb Aly-Khan stressed that it makes no difference where one comes from and what language one speak, or how the person appear.<\/p>\n

Aly-Khan stated that he learned the same thing from his birthplace, Canada.<\/p>\n

He discussed his youth experience, recalling what he learnt during his student leadership, particularly talking about ideals, putting them into action, and leading by example.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the best thing that happened to me because I got to grow up in a place that celebrates multiculturalism and diversities.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a country, we say they are so important to all of us, and then we have to live them, have to act them out; we can\u2019t just say it; we have to show it in action in what we do every day,\u201d the diplomat added.<\/p>\n

He encouraged the pupils to be effective leaders. \u201cYou don\u2019t need a title; you don\u2019t need a salary; you just need to have perseverance and passion.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Ambassador is confident that you will succeed, so I wish you the best of luck. I wish you tremendous success, and please keep in mind that your country\u2019s destiny is in your hands.<\/p>\n
