OTTAWA — Canada could find a win for its feminist foreign policy in the spiralling famine and refugee crisis gripping South Sudan and neighbouring African countries, says a senior United Nations official. OTTAWA — Canada could find a win for its feminist foreign policy in the spiralling famine and refugee crisis gripping South Sudan and neighbouring African countries, says a senior United Nations official. "Canada can do more," Arnauld Akodjenou, the UN High Commissioner's for Refugees' South Sudan co-ordinator, said in an interview Monday. The promise of peace in the newly birthed South Sudan was short-lived: civil war broke out again in late 2013. Canada's contributions to South Sudan include almost $29 million for security and stabilization and about $98 million in international assistance.
