South Sudan has faced significant challenges since it gained independence from its northern neighbour in 2011. But the conflict between two Sudanese factions has triggered a migrant crisis that is dramatically worsening conditions – and this is largely being ignored by the rest of the world.
In this special episode of The i Podcast, Molly Blackall takes us to the border between Sudan and South Sudan, where thousands of new arrivals are entering a living nightmare in the camps that have sprung up to house them.
Molly meets the people who are facing bandits, snakes and disease in the camps as they look to the future – their lives unrecognisable from those they had before the conflict broke out in April this year.
We will explore how the conflict took hold, the journey they took, and why aid organisations including Save the Children say a decision taken at the height of the pandemic by the UK Government is making conditions even worse.
