Sudan Pictures
Hey all - Dan here. I’m in Paris fighting off jet lag. I’ve been from Zurich, to Nairobi, to Sudan, to Dubai, to Paris. I got to Geneva on Monday, but I wanted to get some pictures onto my Flickr account. More to come, but here are some pictures from the Sudan trip. It’ll take me some time to title and tag each picture, but these will give you a sense of the region and people.
These people were kidnapped at a young age, beaten and tortured by their Northern masters. They were purchased by Christian Solidarity International for cow vaccine. Others were purchased for 2 donkeys each - about a $30 value.
These women were beaten, raped, and tortured by their masters from the North. They were purchased by Christian Solidarity International, freed, and given supplies.
Giving the news report on Christian Solidarity International’s freeing of 100 slaves in South Sudan / Darfur - the audio report can be found here.
South Sudan children giving a ‘thumbs up!’
The AK-47 is ubiquitous in South Sudan - this is in the Returnee Camp of Majang Kar - 40k people and 1 water well.
This is Quant, a South Sudan boy about 10 years old. The injury on his leg is an ulcer that, if left untreated, will eventually rot the bone, cause infection, and kill him. He will be treated by Christian Solidarity International, but there are too many people like Quant who will not be treated. The white on the leg is chalk that the people use to treat wounds.

I do not know what to call you nor it wise to talk to you even.
If you are American I urge you to ask your embassy in Sudan this question:
why the refugee in the north refusing to go back to the south even if the war is over.
Slavery and kidnapping of people is a mere cheap hunting for funding.
Very powerful pictures and stories. This trip must be life changing for you.
