Women style models' hair backstage, during the second edition of the Festival of Fashion and Arts for Peace (FFAP), in the South Sudanese capital Juba.

Though two-year-old South Sudan is still plagued by violence, FFAP aims to promote tolerance and solidarity by uniting people through art. The event showed creations by three Southern Sudanese and one Ethiopian designer, as well as traditional jewellery from various different tribes.
