Juba-As the peace
talks in Adissababa seem stalled and abandoned with no possibilities of
yielding hope to the ordinary citizens who have been directly affected by the
ongoing crisis a renowned South Sudanese
music group the Hard life avenue have taken it upon themselves to ensure their
fellow south Sudanese in Uganda have peace of mind and hope in their future.
To bring a peace of mind to the south Sudanese refugees in
Uganda Hard Life Avenue a musical crew in south Sudan is warming up to perform
and entertain the refugees in the upcoming refugees’ day.
Mogga Emmanuel the manager of the Hard Life Avenue said the
concert is aimed at giving courage to the refugees, entertain them and provide
relief from psychological stress adding that the aim is to ensure that the
South Sudanese who are in Uganda due to the current crisis feel at home and
make them feel at home.
Going and having a concert will give relief to them and make
them proud of their origin despite the difficulties. He stressed, saying artist
have a great role of preaching peace and hope
We are responding to our responsibility as music group to
contribute towards peace and restoration of hope to those who hope looks far.
According to Nicky Prince the crew’s president people like
the refugees are stressed and always miss something especially home they need
something to relax their mind and the best thing is Music, many of those who
fled the country are just traumatized in the camps in the neighboring countries
Some of them have lost hope and are psychologically sick
hence need at least entertainment this is all the deal about this show he said.
Organized alongside Skyline international promotions the
Crew plans to have two concerts on 20th and 21st of this
month June at the main town of Adjumani District and the other at Pakele County
an areas where a good number of south Sudanese refugees are settled
After having sung the all stars peace song alongside Silver
X the Hard life Avenue trip to the refugee camps in northern Uganda is seen as
great event to give hope as they join the refugees in celebrating the international
day for refugees
With both their entertaining and educative songs in both
English, Arabic and some local south Sudanese dialects the crew hopes to impact
positively to a great population of their fellow citizens now camped up in
Uganda.
According to Hard Life Avenue Crew they plan to organize concerts
in all the neighboring countries hosting South Sudanese refugees but they wanted
to use this trip as a stepping stone.
