A personal report from South Sudan, received by en in late 2014.
On December 15 a fight that erupted between the President Salva Kirr and his former Deputy Riek Machar resulted in the loss of many innocent lives.
The scene is difficult to vanquish from our minds, as for over a week we slept under the bed because of flying bullets. There is still little peace. The two warring parties talking in Addis Ababa for one year have not reached any conclusion. Many people believe they are preparing for war. January is the beginning of the dry season in South Sudan and was often the period in which war intensified when Sudan was at civil war.
