South Sudan Symposium Boosts Arabic Language in Africa
The Cultural Affairs Department of the Department of Culture in Sharjah organized, in cooperation with the Union of Muslim Scholars of South Sudan, the fifth South Sudan Poetry Forum in Juba, under the slogan "Sharjah's Roots Yield Poetry and Authenticity in Africa." The forum was attended by 15 poets, both male and female, along with officials and intellectuals from South Sudan. Its aim was to strengthen the presence of the Arabic language, encourage poets to express their national identity and local environment, and expand cultural exchange between African and Arab poets. During the event, a variety of poetry readings were presented, including poems about homeland, longing, and peace, reflecting the connection between poetry, identity, and belonging, and emphasizing the role of Arabic poetry in expressing local environments through a link to Arab heritage. The forum seeks to support the African literary scene, promote the presence of the Arabic language, and broaden cultural communication between peoples.
