Sudan

Upper Nile, Southern Sudan, November 25, 2009
A woman from Torkej, dismantles her tukul to sell the wood and grass in Nasir for food. Torkej, Jikany Nuer territory, was attacked on 8 May by the larger Lol Nuer tribe, and is vulnerable to repeated cattle raids and attacks because of their placement on the river and proximity to Lol Nuer lands. Her 7 children and husband were all killed in the nighttime raid, and she is terrified to return home for fear of another violent attack. Tribal violence overall in Southern Sudan has dramatically increased in 2009, with over 2000 deaths.
