Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download

Kuol Deng Kuol, the paramount chief of the Dinka Ngok, looks at racist graffiti written on the walls of looted government offices in Abyei, a town at the center of the contested Abyei region along the border between Sudan and South Sudan. The town was looted and burned in 2011 when mostly Arab soldiers and militias from the northern Republic of Sudan swept through the area, chasing out more than 100,000 Dinka Ngok residents. The chief and a few thousand other families have returned since northern combatants withdrew in 2012, yet their life is precarious.
