Seguimos con la segunda parte de la audioserie titulada "Érase una vez el Este", en ese viaje que realizaron a África los protagonistas de nuestra historia. Como ya sabéis esta serie o audioserie consiste en varios capítulos en los que se mezclan la realidad y la ficción y en los que hablamos de hechos históricos y de sucesos que están de plena actualidad. Y este proyecto de "Érase una vez el Este", es idea, como ya sabéis, de dos grandes amigos de LA BIBLIOTECA DE LA HISTORIA, como son Juan Lamas, malagueño, historiador, escritor y guionista, y Verónica, barcelonesa, actriz y cantante amateur y gran apasionada por la historia. Ellos son los artífices de esto y les agradezco su trabajo. Os dejo con el undécimo capítulo titulado "La caza de Joseph Kony. Seguimos en África. Porque hablar de otras zonas en el mundo que son el foco de atención global es ir a lo fácil. Nos salimos del camino trillado informativo y eso es incómodo para todos: para nosotros y para vosotros.. porque no estamos redundando en lo mismo y muchos de vosotros, quizá comprensiblemente, buscaréis otro Podcast que oír, sobre una temática más familiar y sobre lo que seguro que tenéis una opinión formada. Respecto a esos problemas geopolíticos globales.. ya sea Trump, Rusia/Ucrania encontramos ríos de información y desinformación. Pero hay lugares de los que cuesta mucho recabar cualquier información válida, como pasa con Uganda. Un país aunque no lo creáis, de la mayor importancia en el Continente Africano por su situación. Hoy además os hablaremos de su desconocida historia reciente y de un verdadero criminal. Un verdadero monstruo asesino. Su nombre es Joseph Kony. Él mismo se autodefine como un Luchador por la libertad y lo justifica todo por su oposición a Yoweri Museveni, presidente de Uganda desde 1986 al que a su vez califica como monstruo. Por desgracia Uganda en marzo de 2025 volvió a ser noticia: Por si no fueran preocupantes las noticias que vienen del Congo, el gobierno del presidente ugandés Museveni afirma haber desplegado unidades de operaciones especiales en la capital de Sudán del sur. Y os preguntaréis.. "Pero... A quién importa eso, si ni siquiera sabemos el nombre de esa capital de Estado?" Pues tened en cuenta que al desplegar sus soldados en la ciudad de Yuba, el presidente de Uganda, Yoweri Museveni, actúa como garante de la paz en la guerra civil que afecta al joven país entre Salva Kiir y el vicepresidente Machar, que gobernaban juntos en un delicado gabinete de unidad nacional. Y tened en cuenta que Uganda no actúa sola. La Unión Africana respalda aparentemente dicho movimiento. Es decir.. que sin la necesidad de injerencias de poderes extranjeros (Wagners, o la CIA) África trata de autogestionarse antes que sumirse en el caos. África sigue bañada en sangre: Sudán, Sudán del Sur, República del Congo, Mali.. y en esa convulsión nacen animales que creen ser Mesías, como Joseph Kony. Os hablamos de él y de los intentos rusos de cazarle en la República Centroafricana. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

Today we're bringing you a bonus episode on South Sudan from Crisis Group's Global Podcast Hold Your Fire!.In this episode of Hold Your Fire!, Richard is joined by Crisis Group's Horn of Africa director Alan Boswell and South Sudan expert Daniel Akesh to discuss the escalating violence in South Sudan. They examine what's behind clashes between government forces and opposition-linked militias, which began in Upper Nile state before spreading to other parts of the country. They look at President Salva Kiir's recent government shakeup, including the dismissal of both former Kiir allies and key opposition figures and rivals, most notably First Vice President Riek Machar, a co-signatory of the 2018 peace agreement. They also talk about how the war in neighbouring Sudan has compounded tensions in South Sudan and Juba's uneasy balancing act with Sudan's warring factions, both of which control territory along a vital oil pipeline. Finally, they discuss the muted response from outside South Sudan, what a renewed conflict could mean for regional stability and the legacy of the country's fragile 2018 deal.

Reconquista de Cartum é "passo determinante para o controlo estratégico da região"

O líder sudanês das Forças de Apoio Rápido (RSF), Mohamed Hamdane Daglo, admitiu este domingo, 30 de Março, ter perdido o controlo da capital, Cartum, reconquistada pelo exército, garantindo que as tropas vão agir com "maior determinação" e rejeitando qualquer possibilidade de negociação. Segundo Ana Cascão, a investigadora especializada em geopolítica no Corno de África e no Médio Oriente, a reconquista de Cartum - "uma área crucial, que liga o oeste e o leste do país- foi um passo determinante para o controlo estratégico da região". RFI: Que impacto é que a reconquista de Cartum pelo exército sudanês pode ter na configuração do poder no Sudão e pode levar a uma solução política ou prolongar o conflito?Ana Cascão: Talvez começássemos pelo início da guerra, que foi há cerca de dois anos, em Abril de 2023. Esta é uma guerra atípica ou o início de uma guerra atípica no sentido em que começou na capital. Isto não é normal, diremos, começa na periferia e depois a capital sendo tomada pode ser considerada uma vitória. Neste caso, a guerra começou em Cartum, o que foi muito problemático porque as pessoas foram saindo, fugindo para outros países e para outras regiões do Sudão. E, portanto, podemos imaginar o impacto que isto teve ao longo da guerra, as Rapid Support Forces, ou seja, os paramilitares, foram ocupando vários locais na capital. Alguns são muito estratégicos e gostava de relembrar que, em Cartum, os bairros se juntam e depois continuam a ser unidos e, portanto, há muitas pontes, o que significa que ninguém consegue controlar toda a capital, mas partes da capital. O exército sudanês, chamado SAF -Sudanese Armed Forces-, foi sempre avançando para oeste, mais para perto do Mar Vermelho, sob controlo da capital podíamos considerar que estava a ganhar a guerra.Esta volta do exército sudanês à capital é, acima de tudo, simbólica no sentido de recuperar território que é importante para retomar o palácio presidencial, o Banco Central, que estão destruídos, mas é poder simbólico e também as pontes que ligam as três partes de Cartum. É a principal ou a mais importante foi exactamente porque recuperaram uma parte da cidade que é muito importante para ligar os dois lados, oeste e leste, do país.Pergunto-lhe se o facto de as forças rápidas terem sido expulsas pode afectar a dinâmica entre as diferentes facções militares?Não estamos a falar de uma força militar que não é organizada como um exército regular, como é o exército sudanês e outros na região. Estamos a falar de paramilitares que têm uma estrutura não hierárquica. Obviamente que há líderes militares, mas que funcionam por diversos grupos. Eles não vão desaparecer. Há uma força muito rápida, altamente armada e sofisticada. Não têm Força Aérea, que é a única desvantagem, diremos, mas têm muito poder de se movimentar pelo país. Segundo eles, estão a posicionar-se noutras regiões que também são muito importantes. E onde estão a haver grandes batalhas porque, normalmente, lá está o poder simbólico de conquistar Cartum, muito provavelmente, o exército está a perder noutras regiões estratégicas e, portanto, isto não é o fim da guerra. Pode ser o começo de uma guerra com contornos completamente diferentes.O que é que muda, qual é a novidade desta vez?A novidade desta vez porque temos que perguntar então por que foi possível agora, passados dois anos, e não antes. Porque os atores externos são extremamente importantes aqui e eu gostava de fazer aqui a ressalva que o Sudão é um país extremamente importante por diversas razões. Na região não só pela sua localização, tem vários vizinhos, mas também pelo Mar Vermelho, bem como com o Médio Oriente. É muito importante porque tem petróleo, que está no sul do Sudão. Mas, seja como for, é transportado através do Sudão. Tem muito ouro, por isso também há interesse. E tem uma costa no Mar Vermelho, do outro lado do Iémen, do outro lado da Arábia Saudita, que é muito importante em termos militares, além das rotas comerciais. E, portanto, é óbvio e acho que ninguém descarta que as forças rápidas foram apoiadas pelos Emirados, que têm um grande poder no Sudão desde sempre, mas que aqui, ainda mais em termos de apoio militar e logístico. E o governo do Sudão foi sempre apoiado pelo Egipto. O Egipto, que era um país seguro, e as Forças Armadas foram sendo treinadas pelo Egipto. E também temos aqui um actor que é a Rússia, que apoiava as forças, porque é aí que está o ouro, nas regiões controladas pelas forças paramilitares, mas que ao mesmo tempo está interessado no Porto, que é controlado pelo exército sudanês. Portanto, neste caso, a Rússia vai apoiando uma facção ou outra. E uma novidade é Irão que tem um grande interesse no Mar Vermelho pelo que está a acontecer: O genocídio em Gaza, os ataques do Iémen no Mar Vermelho e, portanto, há aqui uma jogada no Mar Vermelho entre as várias forças da região, os Estados Unidos também. Um Sudão seguro também é muito importante para o Egipto, por causa do Canal de Suez, e ter capacidade militar no caso do Iémen e dos houthisnão poderem atacar há o Sudão do outro lado. Portanto, há aqui todo um refazer de estratégia em que o exército sudanês está a beneficiar e por isso é que isto foi possível agora e não antes. Não é só pela capacidade militar que aumentou, mas também psicologicamente e moralmente ser apoiado por grandes poderes.Outra notícia tem que ver com a detenção de Riek Machar no Sudão do Sul. Esta detenção pode, a seu ver, desencadear um novo conflito armado? Está em causa um acordo de paz que agora deixou de ser respeitado?É outro problema grande na região. Isto só para dar um contexto histórico; o Sul do Sudão tornou-se independente do Sudão em 2011 e herdou bastantes problemas, não é? Portanto, houve uma guerra civil entre o Sudão e o Sul do Sudão durante várias décadas, com várias razões por trás, mas uma delas tinha a ver também com o facto de o Sul do Sudão ter muito petróleo. Isto é sempre uma coincidência com os recursos estratégicos. E quando o Sul do Sudão se tornou independente, o risco de haver uma guerra civil entre os vários actores era grande. Na altura, havia um líder que era o John Garang, o líder da independência do Sul do Sudão, que morreu tragicamente num acidente de avião, o que deu jeito ao Riek Machar e Salva Kiir que já eram pessoas muito importantes no sistema e que pertencem a etnias diferentes. E houve uma luta de poder já nessa altura. Podemos dizer que a guerra civil propriamente dita entre facções dentro do Sul do Sudão aconteceu pouco depois da independência e era sempre uma questão de como partilhar o poder entre estas duas forças. Há aqui dois níveis, que são os poderes, os movimentos e depois as personalidades das pessoas. Salva Kiir tendo-se tornado o presidente e Riek Machar mais tarde tornando-se o vice-presidente. E é isto agora que está em causa: a partilha de poder com o Presidente Salva Kiir, provavelmente não interessado que as forças aliadas ao Riek Machar tenham posições de poder muito, muito grandes.Esta detenção também não é nova. Já aconteceu mais vezes Riek Machar estaar nos países vizinhos. Mas há sempre uma possibilidade de um acordo, que é a divisão do poder político. É provável que a guerra civil, que nunca propriamente acabou, ainda que houvesse um acordo de paz, se torne muito mais frágil do que era anteriormente. E é um país muito complicado. O Sudão também é complicado, mas o Sul do Sudão, geograficamente, não há acesso a muitas das áreas, não é? Quer dizer, a maior parte da população vive ao longo do Nilo. O poder vai sendo partilhado pelas várias etnias que vivem aqui. Mais uma vez, tal como no Sudão, há aqui o envolvimento de outros poderes, neste caso, mais poderes regionais, como o Uganda, a Etiópia e o próprio Sudão também. Isto nos últimos anos. Já houve os ex-vizinhos que combatiam e queriam ajudar como mediadores nos conflitos dos outros, o que é bastante irónico.Quer o Sul do Sudão, quer o Sudão, estão a enfrentar das maiores crises humanitárias que observamos nas últimas décadas, em particular o Sudão, porque não há qualquer acesso a grande parte do território sudanês e no Sul do Sudão também, com o problema adicional de que muitos sudaneses do norte ultrapassaram a fronteira para o Sul do Sudão. E os RSF estão a ter reforços de recursos humanos para combater no Sul do Sudão. Não é por acaso que estas duas coisas estão a acontecer ao mesmo tempo. Poderá haver aqui uma reconfiguração desta região.De que forma é que a comunidade internacional, em particular a União Africana, as Nações Unidas, podem actuar para tentar mitigar a crise humanitária e impedir uma escalada ainda maior dos conflitos na região?É bastante limitada. Nós conseguimos ver e basta olhar para os últimos dez anos, para não ir mais para trás. A União Africana não tem poder para resolver muitos conflitos, ainda que tenha algumas missões ou mediadores para os vários conflitos, chamemos-lhe no Corno de África, mas sabemos que há sempre interesses dentro da própria União Africana e isso acaba por impedir a acção daquela que seria a organização que devia estar exactamente envolvida nestes conflitos, visto todos os países fazem parte dela, mas não têm poder para isso.As Nações Unidas, sabemos que há vários outros conflitos mais importantes, salvo seja, a acontecer no mundo, que tiram a atenção a estes conflitos, em particular o Sudão. As Nações Unidas, neste momento, nem estão a conseguir fazer a distribuição da ajuda básica. Portanto, imaginemos uns quantos passos à frente ou uns quantos passos acima, a achar que se poderia ter um processo de paz. Em particular no Sudão, as partes não se querem sentar - seja lá quem for o mediador.As Nações Unidas têm um poder simbólico de chamar a atenção e levar resoluções ou o Conselho de Segurança. Em qualquer dos casos, cada vez mais os países do Golfo, e eu estou a falar dos Emirados Árabes Unidos e da Arábia Saudita, que têm interesses vastos nestas regiões por várias razões geopolíticas e geo-económicas, provavelmente estão na linha da frente para serem os mediadores, com grandes trocas, obviamente financeiras.A nova moda das relações internacionais é o transacional, a transacção de favores. Mas, no caso do Sul do Sudão, isto não é novo. Os actores não são novos, conhecem-se, imagino que haverá algum tipo de solução interna com a ajuda de alguns mediadores da região, como, por exemplo, o Uganda. No sul do Sudão não me parece que haja, se conquistaram Cartum ou outras regiões, que haja interesse da parte das Rapid Support Forces ou mesmo do exército sudanês para começarem negociações no curto prazo, pelo menos. E até porque a ajuda humanitária é a prioridade número um, é a prioridade número um, independentemente de onde estão as batalhas a decorrer e a região, claro mais problemático é o Darfur. Isto é um grande problema em qualquer negociação futura; se o Darfur poderá vir a ser um novo país, tal como aconteceu com o Sul do Sudão ter independência do Sudão, algumas forças poderão pedir a independência do Darfur, que é uma região muito rica em todos os recursos e por isso é que há tantas batalhas no Darfur e não parece que o exército sudanês alguma vez tenha capacidade de vir a conquistar essa região.

Le comté d'Ayod, dans l'État du Jonglei, est dévasté par les inondations depuis six ans. Plus de 70 000 habitants, déplacés par la montée des eaux du Nil, ont trouvé refuge le long du canal de Jonglei. Coupés du reste du comté par l'eau, ces déplacés sont aussi isolés à cause de la situation politique volatile au Soudan du Sud : ils vivent dans un bastion de l'opposition armée du vice-président Riek Machar, entré en guerre contre le président Salva Kiir en 2013. Un accord de paix a été signé en 2018, mais pour les habitants de ces zones, il reste lettre morte et la crise humanitaire s'aggrave. De notre envoyée spéciale à Paguong, dans l'État du Jonglei,Des nénuphars flottent dans l'eau stagnante le long de la digue qui entoure le village de Paguong, où plus de 10 000 réfugiés vivent. Gatluok Chuol Dong, un officiel local, se remémore comment la communauté a été déplacée à plusieurs reprises par la montée de l'eau : « Les inondations nous ont poussés vers l'est. Nous avons dû abandonner notre bétail et migrer jusqu'au canal. Mais ses berges ne peuvent pas accueillir un grand nombre de personnes, donc nous avons décidé de chercher un endroit où construire une digue pour mettre nos enfants et nos anciens à l'abri. C'est ainsi que nous avons construit cette digue. »Propriétaire d'une demi-douzaine de vaches qu'elle trait chaque matin, Nyakuom Deng Jioknyang, 35 ans, mère de trois enfants, confie que la nourriture manque : « Nous avions beaucoup de vaches avant les inondations, mais beaucoup sont mortes, celles-ci sont les seules qu'il nous reste. » Elle montre une poignée de végétaux de forme ronde, coupés en deux, dont l'intérieur est rempli de grains blancs : « Ces bulbes de nénuphars, c'est ce qui nous permet de survivre. Nous les ramassons dans l'eau, les faisons sécher, les transformons en farine pour les cuisiner et les manger sans aucune sauce, explique-t-elle. Le lait des vaches, nous ne le donnons qu'aux enfants, car il n'y en a pas assez pour nous, les adultes. »De l'aide alimentaire doit être livrée bientôt par avion, c'est pourquoi la communauté coupe des arbres pour créer une « zone de largage » dans la forêt inondée.À lire aussiSoudan du Sud: Pajiek, un village de réfugiés climatiques sur le canal de Jonglei [1/3]« S'il y avait vraiment la paix au Soudan du Sud, les gens ne souffriraient pas comme maintenant »Philip Kuon Roha, le chef de l'administration locale, supervise les travaux. Avant le début de la guerre civile en 2013, il était enseignant à Ayod, la capitale du comté, aujourd'hui contrôlée par le gouvernement. D'enseignant, il est devenu combattant aux côtés des forces de Riek Machar, en guerre contre l'armée gouvernementale jusqu'à l'accord de paix de 2018. Un accord qui n'a selon lui pas été mis en œuvre :« S'il y avait vraiment la paix au Soudan du Sud, les gens ne souffriraient pas comme maintenant. Avant la guerre, nous étions à Ayod, nous n'habitions pas dans ce coin reculé, tout le monde vivait ensemble et travaillait. Les gens faisaient de l'agriculture et élevaient leur bétail. Mais quand les combats ont éclaté, tout s'est effondré. J'en appelle à la communauté internationale pour que cet accord de paix soit enfin mis en œuvre et que nous reprenions une vie normale. »L'officiel espère qu'une réconciliation entre les communautés sera possible, afin que les habitants des bastions de l'opposition puissent circuler librement.À lire aussiGuerre au Soudan: le Soudan du Sud sous le choc après les exactions de l'armée à Wad Madani

The Deputy Speaker of South Sudan's Transitional Parliament says the country is not prepared to hold free, fair, and credible elections this year. Nathaniel Oyet Pierrino, who is also Deputy Chairman of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM-IO), led by First Vice President Riek Machar, says this is due to intransigence and lack of political will by the current transitional government led by President Salva Kiir. His comments come as President Kiir this week rejected any extension of the transitional period, saying elections should take place this year as scheduled. Pierrino tells VOA's James Butty, having elections now would be a recipe for violence because the country is far behind implementation of the Revitalized Peace Agreement.

The holdouts have yet to ratify the 2018 Revitalized Comprehensive Peace Agreement. The talks had been taking place in recent years in Rome. The new development comes as some holdouts are demanding the talks be returned to Rome for all the parties to decide whether they can trust President Salva Kiir. Albino Mathom Ayuel, head of the South Sudan delegation, tells VOA's James Butty, the holdouts cannot dictate where the talks should take place

In 2018, South Sudan's main warring parties signed a peace deal which today should have already concluded with national elections. However, mid-2022, after years of implementation delays and stalled politics, South Sudan's power-sharing government announced a two-year extension of its term in office and pushed elections until December 2024. Even with the extended timeline, South Sudan's roadmap to elections looks steep and littered with pitfalls. The current failure to implement the peace agreement and an almost non-existing voting infrastructure have raised doubts about whether South Sudan can be ready for elections any time soon. With violence raging across much of the country, many also question whether South Sudan can hold elections safely. This week on The Horn, Alan Boswell speaks with Edmund Yakani, executive director of the Community Empowerment for Progress Organization, about South Sudan's political malaise and the country's fraught road to elections. They first address the implications of South Sudan's latest political crisis after President Salva Kiir relieved Angelina Teny, the wife of First Vice President Riek Machar, of her position as defence minister. They then identify critical steps that must be taken to ensure the viability of the upcoming election, including a credible new constitution. They also discuss why surveys show South Sudanese overwhelmingly want elections even though they also predict such elections will cause more violence. They then also discuss what approaches could help foster more stability in South Sudan's political system in the long-run, and whether Kiir or Machar would ever consider retirement.

But while many people assumed it would quickly blow over, the men, who all work for the national broadcaster SSBC, are still being held incommunicado two weeks later. The government's Information Minister said that people should wait to know why the journalists were detained. So what does this mean for press freedom in South Sudan? And will this have a chilling effect on the work of the media there? For Africa Daily, Alan Kasujja speaks to Oyet Patrick of the South Sudan Union of Journalists.

Au Soudan du Sud, des conflits intercommunautaires attisés par les luttes de pouvoir

Des conflits intercommunautaires ont déplacé des dizaines de milliers de civils au cours de l'année 2022, dans différentes régions du Soudan du Sud. Et ce, alors que le pays tente de mettre un terme à la guerre civile qui avait éclaté en 2013, seulement deux ans après son indépendance. En août 2022, des centaines de femmes et d'enfants Nuer débarquent à Old Fangak, dans l'État du Jonglei, après avoir fui l'attaque des milices Shilluk sur leurs villages au bord du Nil. Cet assaut marque le début d'un conflit intercommunautaire, qui se résumait au départ à des rivalités politiques entre deux généraux, le Shilluk Johnson Olony et le Nuer Simon Gatwech. Mais, suite à cette attaque en août dernier, des milliers de bergers Nuer de la « White Army » sont à leur tour mobilisés et lancent une offensive brutale contre le Royaume Shilluk, dans l'État voisin du Haut-Nil. En vertu de l'accord de paix de 2018, un gouvernement d'unité nationale et de transition a été formé en 2020, réunissant Salva Kiir et son rival Riek Machar. Mais, malgré cette unité de façade, des voix s'élèvent pour dénoncer la continuation de la guerre à travers ces violences communautaires. « La plupart des affrontements communautaires au Sud-Soudan sont arrangés par des politiciens avec des calculs politiques précis. Il s'agit d'une guerre par procuration entre Kiir et son vice-président Machar », dénonce le père Paolino Tipo Deng, président de l'Initiative religieuse du Haut-Nil pour la paix et la réconciliation.  Le prélat estime que les Églises ont un rôle à jouer pour apaiser les esprits : « Les chefs religieux feront toujours de leur mieux pour éduquer et réconcilier les communautés divisées, et aussi éduquer tous les citoyens pour pouvoir éviter d'être victimes de manipulations et d'ambitions politiques égoïstes. » Mi-décembre, une autre offensive de la White Army visait cette fois les habitants de la région du Grand Pibor, les Murle, faisant des dizaines de milliers de déplacés et au moins 50 victimes. Pour l'activiste Bol Deng Bol, qui dirige le Jonglei State Civil Society Network, cette violence est le fruit des luttes de pouvoir qui se sont « intensifiées depuis la signature de l'accord de paix » de 2018. « Un autre facteur de cette violence, c'est le désœuvrement des communautés. Il n'y a pas d'hôpitaux, pas de routes, pas de jobs, rien du tout ! Les jeunes, qu'on appelle la White Army, n'ont rien à faire de positif. Et donc c'est un avantage utilisé par les acteurs politiques mécontents de la mise en œuvre de l'accord de paix. Ils se servent des jeunes pour saboter le processus de paix. » Le gouvernement sud-soudanais a nié toute implication dans les violences. Arrivera-t-il pour autant à stopper les cycles de vengeance ? Le mercredi 4 janvier, deux femmes et un enfant Nuer ont été tués « par de jeunes Murle armés », dans le nord du Jonglei, selon l'Association des Jeunes de Uror, un comté de la région.

Malgré l'accord de paix signé en 2018 entre le président Salva Kiir et son vice-président Riek Machar, des tensions persistent entre les forces de l'opposition et celles du gouvernement. En mars, des milices armées ont dévasté le comté de Leer, un bastion de l'opposition. Des civils ont trouvé refuge à Old Fangak, une ville déjà surpeuplée avec l'arrivée de populations qui ont fui les inondations. De notre envoyée spéciale à Old Fangak C'est près d'un bâtiment colonial en ruine, entre le marché et la digue qui protège Old Fangak des inondations, que les déplacés de Leer, se sont entassés. Bargate Gatjang a 35 ans. Mi-mars, il a dû fuir son village de Rupkong lorsque des hommes en armes ont lancé un assaut. « Je ne peux pas vraiment expliquer ce qui s'est passé. Ils sont arrivés et ont commencé à tirer. Nous avons fui pour sauver nos vies. Nous nous sommes cachés dans les marécages, mais ils nous ont suivis et ont recommencé à tirer. Je ne sais pas pourquoi ils voulaient nous tuer, raconte Bargate Gatjang. Le village a été entièrement détruit. Nos réserves de nourriture ont été pillées et nos maisons brûlées. Il n'y a plus personne là-bas. Beaucoup sont morts. J'ai perdu six membres de ma famille. Cette attaque a duré cinq ou six jours. Quand on a réalisé qu'on ne pourrait pas tenir, on a décidé de venir ici. » C'est sur un radeau traditionnel fabriqué dans l'urgence que Bargate Gatjang a navigué dans les marécages et dérivé sur les rivières pour atteindre Old Fangak, à plus de 100 km de chez lui. 40 000 déplacés  En attendant l'aide alimentaire du Programme alimentaire mondial, les déplacés survivent grâce à la solidarité des habitants d'Old Fangak. Elizabeth Nyakuow Nyot a 40 ans et a, elle aussi, fait le trajet sur un radeau avec ses six enfants. « Obtenir de la nourriture est vraiment un problème. Nous sommes nouveaux ici, et même des nénuphars, nous avons du mal à en trouver. Les gens partagent ce qu'ils ont avec nous pour que l'on puisse cuisiner pour nos enfants, confie cette mère de famille. C'est vraiment difficile. Nous n'avons rien pris avec nous à part les vêtements que nous portions. Nous avons fui pour sauver notre peau. » Pour Elizabeth Nyakuow Nyot, difficile de se fier aux annonces de progrès dans le processus de paix. Elle n'imagine pas pouvoir retourner à Leer prochainement : « Il y a de la défiance. Ce n'est pas la première fois qu'ils font la paix à Juba et qu'ensuite la guerre reprend. Ça va prendre du temps pour construire la confiance. Nous attendons de voir. » En mai, les Nations unies ont observé une accalmie dans le comté de Leer et estimé à 40 000 le nombre de déplacés. Les attaques ont fait 181 morts, dont 23 enfants. 101 cas de violences sexuelles ont également été documentés. Des violences dont le gouvernement « porte la responsabilité », selon l'instance de surveillance du cessez-le-feu.
