He’s wearing his beret + 3-star epaulets, and SPLA uniform. “These are officers and politicians passing through our training ground… Politically we have won the war… our motive is to change the system of governance of the country.” “The problem of South Sudan is happening in everybody’s head” You are not officers of Kajo Keji or elders of your region, you are officers of South Sudan (they applaud). IO cannot fail, we are progressing and can take the government of Silva Kirr. The time we should have a dialogue is not this time… We are not dialoguing anymore.” He says to his new officers and politicians. Security is the strength of our movement. Don’t mix business with politics. Good governance begins from you… You have to start from your home” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd688633c1f627580a0832f/1608673864902-0PC7MRBYX1DZG8XBIWA8/Section+1+portrait-1.jpg Life and Work - South Sudan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd688633c1f627580a0832f/1608676879558-6NZHWZX22FQN03IG2CSV/Section+2+landscape-1.jpg Life and Work - South Sudan - On the road to South Sudan 5-8-2017 I am struck by the thought that this is still a very organic place where life is still connected very much to the earth itself. The houses are built from mud extracted from the local riverbank and from wood and thatch. The diet is almost completely locally grown. The people are subject to the capriciousness of their surroundings. Famine, sickness and war, which seems to be a perpetual and organic product of life here. The people seem like they could just melt back into the earth, the houses as if they could collapse and decay and be overtaken by vegetation, the roads as if they could be instantly swallowed up by the bush, by the dirt which covers them and the vegetation which encroaches everyday. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd688633c1f627580a0832f/1608682338583-IKICYIITTFHK3TH4PLPJ/Part+2+-+Ancient+place+-3.jpg Life and Work - South Sudan “There is no good life for guerillas.

Others are dressed in civilian clothes, most wear sandals or sneakers in a poor state, most carry backpacks in various stages of falling apart. Some carry pots. They gather in small groups in the town and talk eagerly. As they set off, some sing and chant, most others are quiet, concentrating on carrying their loads. They will sleep in the bush; we’ll catch up with them tomorrow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd688633c1f627580a0832f/1608688644224-W9WF3P5P7M6CHP93ZGB1/image-asset.jpeg Life and Work - South Sudan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd688633c1f627580a0832f/1608688666643-5RW37OIOVEPKGB1B5ML9/Part+3+-+back+of+truck-1.jpg Life and Work - South Sudan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd688633c1f627580a0832f/1608690561021-VA80F27NVADPDFSKMPQS/Part+5+-+Men+march+earthy+voices-1.jpg Life and Work - South Sudan The men march in the morning the whistle blows repeatedly.
