Sudan - Fisherfolk in South Sudan

Fishing in the swamps of the river White Nile in South Sudan is the hardest job in the world. The fishermen and their families are extremely vulnerable. The region is infested with myriads of mosquitoes and dangerous parasites. Hippos and Crocodiles, strong winds and powerful currents threaten the fishers life. Their camps are often at long distances from the next villages. Medical care is not available. Diseases that are easy to treat often cause death. Lacking of life jackets lead to a high number of fatal accidents. The fisher often lack the basic tools for fishing. Fishing is the last resort for people in poverty.

Ahaha! Do the people in the video look like Arabs? Come to your senses, Arabs are our first enemies, they wanted to destroy this livehood! ! Look up 'jonglei canal' to understand that. Anyway, South Sudan is an independent subsaharan African country!

I have been to the Sudan and it is incredible how the Arabs of the north Sudan oppress the southern Sudanese in the name of Islam.
