Born in the midst of the brutal Sudanese civil war, Steven Wani's entire life has been shaped by conflict. The Sudanese civil war which stemmed from South Sudan's desire to be independent from the Republic of Sudan claimed thousands of lives, including Steven's father, who fought for the south. Today, South Sudan is an independent country but has failed to live up to the great sacrifices made for its freedom by men like Steven's father. Now a lawyer and young politician, Steven has taken up his father's fight, but not from the barrel of a gun this time, rather, Steven is doing it from the might of his intellects. So what exactly is he doing and how is he doing it?  Listen to Steven's Story on The Climb Podcast.
