  • Rachel Abduk holds dried grass she cut to use as a roof for a temporary shelter in a camp for displaced people in Melijo, South Sudan, near that country's border with Uganda. She fled fighting around Bor, in Jonglei State, in December 2013, during which her husband and five children were killed.

The ACT Alliance is helping the displaced families and the host communities affected by their presence, and is supporting efforts to reconcile the two groups.

  • Displaced families receive 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. 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.

  • A displaced woman carries water home 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.

  • Displaced by the construction of the Belo Monte Dam from their villages along the Xingu River, indigenous children play in an inflatable pool in a housing project for displaced families in Altamira, Brazil. As many as 40,000 people were displaced by the construction of the dam and flooding of the river. Because the area where they were resettled is outside the city and has no phone service and little transportation, many people have moved away temporarily or permanently.

  • Displaced people return to 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.

This boatload of displaced people coming back to Bor is arriving from Awerial, on the other side of the White Nile. Many are coming for just one or two days to inspect their homes, many of which were burned and looted, and to evaluate whether they want to commit to returning.
