説明 | Everything seemed normal until around 9 pm. I was home with my family and shooting started around the military barracks and then it spread to various parts of Juba. We could hear it from our house.After two days of continuous fighting, I decided to take my family to the UNMISS (UN Mission In South Sudan) compound. The mobile networks had started working and we were receiving disturbing news of people we know dying. I left them there, safe, and came back to Juba.Although the situation was still very dire, I was adamant about going back to Juba. Having fought in the civil war that won South Sudan its independence, I did not see anything that I had not seen before. It was too risky however, for me to go back home, so I reached out to my friend and neighbour Raphael, a Dinka. I am a Nuer and Raphael’s actions are still keeping me safe. It’s hard to predict what will happen in the coming weeks but I am still hopeful for South Sudan to reconcile and rebuild itself. Whatever is happening is due to ignorance. The biggest challenge is that people see the differences between them as a negative thing. Diversity is a positive thing. Instead of these differences bringing us together, they are tearing us apart. It has now become very difficult for us to agree but we’re very hopeful for peace. There is no other option but that.Photo: Mackenzie Knowles Coursin/Oxfam |
