}}Akol Miyen Kuol (born in 1974) is a South Sudanese journalist, author and poet. He was born in the oil-rich region of Abyei but currently lives in exile in Kenya.[1] Akol Miyen is known for using poetry to promote peace in his homeland South Sudan.[2] Akol currently works for the BBC as Sudan and South Sudan analyst.[3] In 2016, the BBC threatened to fire Akol after the journalist expressed "disappointment over impediments" in the implementation of a peace deal between the South Sudanese government and rebels, telling warring parties in the country that an "agreement between South Sudanese and South Sudanese will never be a bad peace".[4]

An online campaign by Akol, called 'Save the Last Train',inspired artists in Juba to paint murals on walls across the capital to preach peace.[5] Akol launched Save the Last Train campaign at SpiceTalks [6] an initiative of Spice Without Borders.[7] in the year 2016.

Early life

Akol fled Abyei in 1978 due to the political instability in the region and went to northern Sudan.[8] He left Sudan in 1993 for Egypt as he did not want to join the Sudanese army because "the government was fighting my own people".[9] Two and a half years later, he moved to Tanzania and then to Kenya in 1999.[2] Akol says his love for his country and Africa inspired him to write poems and has dedicated a collection of poems to former South African President Nelson Mandela.
