Live is hard in south sudan, There is nothing From 1983-2005, civil war between north and south Sudan killed at least 2 million people, mostly civilians, and displaced more than 4 million people. Since the end of the war, not much improved. Live is very difficult there In recent months in Nasir (where these picture are taken), violence associated with cattle raiding and counter-raids has killed hundreds of people, mainly women and children, in southern Sudan. The attacks stem from land and cattle disputes between ethnic groups and are compounded by the region’s history of economic and political marginalization. The conflict comes at an uneasy time, as south Sudan prepares for national elections in early 2010 and a referendum on southern independence in 2011.
