South Sudan: Portrait of a civil war refugee
The South Sudanese civil war is an armed conflict between the supporters of President Salva Kiir and those of Vice President Riek Machar since 15 December 2013 in South Sudan. This rivalry brings to light old divisions between the various clans of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement, the former rebellion that led the country to independence in 2011, against a background of ethnic rivalry: on the one hand, the Dinkas (majority ethnic group Of Salva Kiir) and on the other the Nuers (Riek Machar ethnic group).
“You are Nuer, we are going to kill you.”
The Nuer facial markings make them easily identifiable.
