A friend of mine has returned from South Sudan after working there with a small NGO, particularly with children who have been lost. There are great stories about children being reconciled with their families. However, a major concern is the vulnerability of girls and women to rape and sexual assault when these raids or conflicts take place. Again, that programme is important.

With regard to Juba and Khartoum, does the witness notice a difference in the way the conflict has affected each of those cities?
