All
year except in the rainy season, every year since the mid-1950s,
Sudan has been at war with itself: millions have already died in
the ruthless fighting or the famine.

Teun Voeten visited the South and depicted some of those at risk.
Along with the Nuba, one of the largest tribes in the South is the
Dinka. They are a semi-nomadic tribe that breeds cattle and looks
down on other trades. They alternate between their villages in the
wet season and the riverbanks in the dry season. To the Dinka the
cows are not only food, shelter, and playmates for their children
- they also become a de facto currency and inspiration for poems
and songs, even a component of their white face-paint.
