For the past four years South Sudan has been torn apart by civil war - and the situation in the country is desperate. Famine rages across all conflict zones and the first victims are often displaced people. As battles are lost on the ground, families are forced to leave everything behind to try to survive. FRANCE 24 reporters Charles Emptaz and Olivier Jobard spoke to people in the eastern rebel-held Jonglei region as government troops led an offensive to take the regional capital of Waat.
In South Sudan, the rebels are desperately waiting for rain. The rainy season is coming soon, which should stop the advance of government tanks and troops who have taken control of Waat, the regional capital. The battle has led to an exodus of tens of thousands of civilians from the Nuer ethnic group, the main supporters of the rebels.
►► Report: 'South Sudan sinks deeper into civil war and famine'
Our reporters spoke to people in the east of the country in the state of Jonglei, around 10 kilometres from the front line.

This title drew me to this video. I don't like what is going on in South Sudan, but it is inhuman to call a country with people like you a cursed land. Some people even got the guts to approved what he/she said. Every country has gone through a lot in order to have a privilege of calling other countries cursed.

Sudanese are emotional people. They will fight each other for simple things like who sits by the window. The emotions like short temper also create blood feuds that last long time and don't end well. I pray for Sudan they can find peace.

@trytinn 9 ай бұрын

Ya very true about the feuds. That’s a huge part of why the fighting can’t end yet because it’s hard to convince someone the other group isn’t evil when they’ve killed your family member. I’m half south Sudanese half white and my father tells me if I go to South Sudan I can only visit Juba as even I could be killed if I was identified because of feuds and killings that have taken place between my family and others. And that’s just even in the Nuer tribe itself let alone tribal conflict

Leave it to French colonial media to label an African land “cursed” even in this day and age. Why not go back and show where a lot of these “curses” are rooted? Your country’s disproportionate wealth came from drastically draining wealth out of so many others and then you have the nerve to call them “cursed”. Look at the mirror for once
