After surviving five years of a brutal civil war, the people of Lankien are facing a fresh set-back after intense flooding devastated the opposition-held town in the Jonglei region of South Sudan. Despite their immense suffering, they remain fiercely committed to building peace and ending an ongoing cycle of cattle-raiding and revenge attacks with neighbouring communities. The Head of UNMISS made a flying visit to witness their peace-building efforts first-hand.
