South Sudan

South Sudan is one of the world's youngest nations, born from decades of civil conflict and formally independent since 2011. The land stretches from the swampy flats of the Sudd — one of the largest wetlands on Earth — northward to savanna and low mountains near the Ugandan border. Life here is shaped by cattle, river systems, and the rhythms of communities navigating a fragile peace.
