Soudan du Sud: les "revenants"
Lorsqu?on a tout quitte?, il est difficile de recommencer a? ze?ro. Ils ont perdu des membres de sa famille, leur maison, leur gagne-pain. Et il est impossible d?avancer seul lorsque les ressources manquent.
A Lankien, dans le nord du Soudan du Sud, des milliers de personnes ont du? fuir les violences inter-communautaires. Certaines d?entre elles sont des ?revenants?. Apre?s avoir fui leur re?gion il y a des anne?es, ils reviennent dans leur village d?origine pensant y retrouver la paix. Mais il ne reste plus rien de leur vie d?avant.
De nombreux camps informels encerclent de?sormais le centre du village ou? le marche? journalier constitue la seule source de revenus disponible pour les habitants. Ici, plusieurs communaute?s cohabitent et s?entraident. Le partage est le mot d?ordre pour survivre. Les pe?riodes alterne?es de se?cheresses intenses et d?inondations amenuisent les sols. Lankien est la plupart de l?anne?e inaccessible par voie terrestre. L?inse?curite? alimentaire s?aggrave chaque jour.
Deux millions de personnes sont aujourd?hui de?place?es internes, alors que la population du Soudan du Sud est de 12 millions d?habitants. Depuis son inde?pendance en 2011, le pays a connu la guerre civile et de nombreux conflits inter-communautaires qui ont force? a? fuir plus d?un tiers de sa population.
Pour pouvoir intervenir dans les zones les plus recule?es, ACTED et l?Union Europe?enne ont mis sur pied des e?quipes mobiles pour e?valuer les besoins les plus urgents et y re?pondre. Depuis le de?but du projet, 142,828 personnes ont rec?u une aide humanitaire d?urgence.
South Sudan: returnees
When you?ve lost everything, it?s hard to start over from the beginning. Often, people have lost family members, home, livelihoods. And it is impossible to move forward alone when resources are lacking.
In Lankien, in the north of South Sudan, thousands of people have had to flee inter-communal violence.
Some of them are returnees. After having fled their region years ago, they return to their village of origin hoping to find peace again. But there is nothing left of their former life.
Many informal camps now surround the village. In town, the daily market is the only available source of income for the inhabitants. Here, several communities live together and help each other. Sharing is the watchword to survival. Alternating periods of intense droughts and floods deplete the soil. The same floods make Lankien inaccessible most of the year by road. Food insecurity is worsening.
Two million people are now internally displaced. South Sudan?s total population is 12 million. Since the country?s independence in 2011, the country has experienced civil war and inter-community conflicts which have forced more than a third of its population to flee.
To be able to intervene in the most remote areas, ACTED and the European Union have set up mobile teams to assess the most urgent needs and respond. Since the start of the project, 142,828 people have received emergency humanitarian aid.
