      I cant help but notice that the "help" just keeps these people in a loop. They have babies, bring them into this life of misery, then when the baby is at the point of death, they give them this packaged "nutrition" just to keep them alive and then set back into that miserable world of starvation and poverty.... Poverty is not even the word, they are at geound zero. Its really tragic. I dont think anything is helping. What a tragic world we live in that we cant even aolve something this easy!

Not a chance would I ever just give my money away hoping that it gets to where its supposed to go to and used for some good, because only the most naive among us would ever believe that the moneys donated actually reach the advertised destination. For every £1 donated only 10-14 pence actually gets there. Red tape and "fees" eat up 90% of the money donated it's a very corrupt world (and sadly that's still a 100% true fact!)

I couldn't make it through the tears. Before the video was over I sent $1,000 to Unicef to help feed the malnourished children.

      Please, please please don’t send money to UNICEF THE BUREAUCRACY IS CRAZY. Living in the capital of Kenya, their neighbors to the south there’s a lot of South Sudanese refugees here and from the situation they explained to us the UN is only as effective as the government in which the country it’s in is. You heard him say they were police honking and clearing people out of the way so that a convoy of brand new Toyota Land Cruiser can pass people living in abject poverty but government officials are driving cars worth 150,000-300,000 per convoy. And because of such of the thousand dollars you’ve donated which by the way, thank you so much 80% will never reach these people. Sorry for the unsolicited advice but in my opinion, it’s better to put in research and find NGOs and like Nick here where you know the money doesn’t pass through government officials first who already live in our country with their kids, leaving their own country to live in an IDP like what you’re saying

    At the start of the video it says "If there was food, people wouldn't fight" So it seems the solution is to create a permaculture food forest system that can provide food.
    It looks like it rains and even floods so harvesting that water by building swales and a dam to water the plants will work. Plant fruit trees behind the swale so the water collected in the swale waters the trees deeply.
    It seems the charity offers a bandaid solution so it can keep running and collecting donations. Build food forests and let the people care for it and provide to their community.

      Was it ever ok? Could you guys ever revert back to a tribal way of life? Wouldn't you be happier? I know I would be, no disrespect to you.
      But once you come to western Europe and are 3 generations in you'll find out.
      Taxes, overworking, social degeneration as well as physical and mental.
      Your future generations will have health problems as well as mental ones.
      Its a sick society, it could work and could be better but modern society has just as many problems, just different ones.
      If the structure was there I'd move to the congo, have a tribe wife, have children, drink raw cows milk all day and hunt animals. Shit only got worse for everybody when we decided to make life complicated
      The problem with your society is that you have one leg in, one leg out, one in the modern world and one in the tribal.
      You're a tribal people fighting for money and hierarchy when there's no body actually investing in your country, nor enough innovative or educated people to create businesses.
      So what do you want to do? Fix your country and become a part of the first world? Or be happy with what you have and live a simple life.
      Struggle or not struggle, your destiny lies in your community and how well you treat each other.
      You can only fix something wrong in your life when you realize that all the responsibility lies on your shoulders, this is your problem and your problem to fix

He tells me how death and destruction are a normal thing there and I have lots of friends and family who I contact there who tell me of the terrible conditions. It’s heartbreaking to see the way of life people are born into there especially as someone who was privileged enough to be born and raised in North America. I will visit there myself in the coming years with my father but it is great to be able to see it second hand through these videos for now. It’s crazy to me how I have many cousins and relatives who are simply born into a life so different from mine and don’t know any different. I hope to be successful in my own life so I can help in any way I can . Where I live we have a large community of South Sudanese and they are some of the kindest and most giving people you will ever meet even after all they have been through.

    This is only the second video I've watched but I wanted to say what an incredible job you have done. The editing, the content, the way you narrate and talk to the local populace, overall it's just very well made. I now have lots of new and interesting videos to watch about other countries, and it helps to give me perspective in life. Good work :)

    I've been to South Sudan several times now, and you did a great job of catching the heart of what's happening there. Interesting to see some of the places I've been. Never seen so many people on top of Jebel Kujur.

    Despite all of the hardships, the children are still playing and laughing like kids should. Knowing they are not able to go to school is sad as it guarantees they will have even less than their parents do now. There is so much potential in them that will go to waste if things don't improve there. Best wishes to the people of S. Sudan.

    Sending prayers to everyone living in that environment, I hope this video helps more and more ppl to do there best and donate, and at the very least start to appreciate what we have today, bring more peace. Those are human being jus like us with less fortunate life styles unfortunately. It's sad but I'm thankful because it helps me to become more greatful. I wish them well and hopefully someday they will start to rejoin and not fight, fighting dose not bring peace it's a low way of control That all it is there's better ways to compromise

    Nick, thank you so much for all the work you put into all these exciting series. It is always very stunning (and sometimes saddening) to see other parts of the world. Videos like these make me very concious about the fact that peace and freedom can't be taken for granted.
    Greetings from Germany!

    Thanks for this video. I'm a proud South Sudanese, and I'm hopeful that the land of my ancestors will experience total peace one day soon. I visited Juba in April, 2022 for the first time in my life, and I agree many people are suffering due to corruption, tribalism and other reasons. Young South Sudanese all over the world are really trying their best to unite and develop our mamaland. I just pray the government gives the new generation greater opportunities to develop this nation in peace and unity - no tribalism. Please next time bring the wonderful side of the country too, so people won't be afraid to pay a visit. An average South Sudanese is a very friendly and welcoming people. You never enter a South Sudanese home and leave hungry. God bless

      The West does not have a presence in Africa for humanitarian reasons, it is there to stoke ethnic conflicts and war so that then the West can then say that they are for humanitarian reasons to prevent a genocide.

    Thanks for the videos. You would be great on TV. Your demeanour and composure is refreshing as you objectively explore these places and reminds me of watching Foreign Correspondant in the 90s. The world needs more of this!!

      There's an agenda at play here.. China is actually going into places of Africa and is actually building infrastructure there.. for the mining and resources, yet providing to rebuild cities and so forth. I don't see Western countries doing this, on this level.
