  • Women carry water home from a well in Geles, an Arab village in Darfur where an ecumenical coalition has provided wells and a variety of other services. While the Darfur Emergency Response Operation is focused primarily on responding to the needs of Darfur's internally displaced people, most of them Africans, it also is helping Arab villages, many of them host communities for displaced camps, as a contribution toward reconciliation and peace. The Darfur Emergency Response Operation is a joint effort of Caritas Internationalis, the Rome-based network of Catholic aid agencies, and Action by Churches Together (ACT), the Geneva-based Protestant relief network. Since 2003, as many as 400,000 people have been killed and 2,500,000 displaced by government-sanctioned violence against African farming communities in the region.

  • Women carry home water in Agok, a town in the contested Abyei region where tens of thousands of people fled in 2011 after an attack by soldiers and militias from the northern Republic of Sudan on most parts of Abyei. Although the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement called for residents of Abyei--which sits on the border between Sudan and South Sudan--to hold a referendum on whether they wanted to align with the north or the newly independent South Sudan, the government in Khartoum and northern-backed Misseriya nomads, excluded from voting as they only live part of the year in Abyei, blocked the vote and attacked the majority Dinka Ngok population. The African Union has proposed a new peace plan, including a referendum to be held in October 2013, but it has been rejected by the Misseriya and Khartoum. The Catholic parish of Abyei, with support from Caritas South Sudan and other international church partners, has maintained its pastoral presence among the displaced and assisted them with food, shelter, and other relief supplies.

The family has received help from International Orthodox Christian Charities, a member of the ACT Alliance.

  • Men carry a bag of sorghum during a food distribution by the United Nations World Food Program in Agok, a town in the contested Abyei region where tens of thousands of people fled in 2011 after an attack by soldiers and militias from the northern Republic of Sudan on most parts of Abyei. Although the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement called for residents of Abyei--which sits on the border between Sudan and South Sudan--to hold a referendum on whether they wanted to align with the north or the newly independent South Sudan, the government in Khartoum and northern-backed Misseriya nomads, excluded from voting as they only live part of the year in Abyei, blocked the vote and attacked the majority Dinka Ngok population. The African Union has proposed a new peace plan, including a referendum to be held in October 2013, but it has been rejected by the Misseriya and Khartoum.

  • Workers carry pipe as they drill a well on April 7, 2017, in Rumading, a village in South Sudan's Lol State where more than 5,000 people, displaced by drought and conflict, remain in limbo.

They remain camped out under the trees at Rumading, eating wild leaves as the rainy season approaches. <br />

<br />

  • Rebecca Adau Deng (left) and Apajok Gut Riak carry home packages of essential household items in Bor, a city in South Sudan's Jonglei State that has been the scene of fierce fighting in recent months between the country's military and anti-government rebels. After fighting broke out in mid December 2013, control of the town changed hands four times in a few weeks. ACT Alliance members were among the first humanitarian agencies to enter the city in January 2014, and are providing services--such as these packages--to thousands of people who are cautiously returning home to the troubled city, as well as people--like these women's families--which are fleeing from fighting in other areas to take refuge in abandoned and burned houses in Bor. The packages are provided by Dan Church Aid and distributed by the Lutheran World Federation, both members of the ACT Alliance.
