John Akuach

It is with great sadness that we report the death of our friend, John Akuach. John’s life was tragically taken when, this past Sunday evening, he was struck by a car while he walked in Juba, South Sudan. John was a person of character with much to offer his home country of Sudan; he had recently completed law school and was newly married.

John was a great friend to the Campaign. When, in March, Kou, Kait, and Robyn traveled to Kampala, Uganda on their way to Juba, John arranged nearly everything for their arrival, from hiring a driver to helping them to attain entry visas for Sudan. The visit would have been far more difficult without John’s assistance, and we had looked forward to seeing him again on future trips. John Akuach will be deeply missed, and our sympathies are with his family on this terrible loss.
