South Sudan

Akujang, 15
‘I was married in January last year when I was 14.
My husband is 18 years old. I’m his first wife.
I’m the eldest girl,
so it was my job to cook
and work in the garden
so I never went to school.
I was married off
– I did not have a choice.
I’m happy with my husband.
He treats me well.
My baby is four months old.
She is called Anipe.
Hunger is our biggest problem.
Last year
we cultivated groundnuts and sorghum
but there was no rain, so nothing grew.
We had nothing to eat’

on gunshot wounds, hunger and hope – in
pictures
Teenage girls in this war-torn country
face immense challenges
– child marriage, early pregnancy,
lack of education and often
extreme hunger.
Photographer Kate Holt travelled to South Sudan
to document their stories
and ask them about their fears and dreams

Ethnic Cleansing in South Sudan
The swamps where villagers try
to escape the atrocities of the
civil war
offer a glimpse at the catastrophe
unfolding in the world's
newest country.

If It Were My Home
The headlines tell a lot about the crisis in Yemen:
internal strife, evacuations of international aid workers,
Saudi Arabian airstrikes.
But you may have one very basic question
that you can't easily find an answer for:
How big is Yemen,
anyway?
You can look at maps and check out Wikipedia
but wouldn't it be great to just to slap an outline of Yemen
on top of a map of the United States to get a sense of its size?
IfItWereMyHome.com lets you do just that.
