Southern Sudan by Simone Casetta

During the civil war that took place in Southern Sudan for twentyone years, the black population has been heavily beaten by regular Sudanese army and by mercenary soldiers, motivations of the war being Blue Nile waters and oil production control.
Peace was decided on January ninth, 2005 after three years of difficult negotiations. More than fifty international (ong) organizations found themselves operating in the area, having for their base camp the town of Lokichokio in Kenya. The international help gave relief to the population, but also set dependance and corruption.
