Photography of the fifth journey
During a 2 weeks stay in Nuba I had a chance to have a look in different areas I hadn't seen before. But it starts with the flight to Kauda, where I join NRRDO. We go from Kauda to Kurci and Julud.
TO KAUDA
Oil Consessions in Abyei
Nearing the Nuba Mountains
Finally

Morning walk in Kurci
Good morning
Same to you

He prefers uncertainty in Nuba over poverty in the city

JULUD
Khalid an Muntasim showing me the vegetable to be
It should look a bit
like the one
right next door
where people buy fruits and vegetables
so the gardener has a living too

Evening in Julud
Evening market
I guess with those roads many people need new tires?

Shop in Julud Mundri
has everything for your bike

The NRRDO uses solar energy
The wiring is a bit improvised
And the battery may look a bit rusty
But the lights work in the evening
and they are the low-energy kind
(As if I care)

JULUD
The slaughter slab was built
to stop the spread of diseases
through contaminated meat
unfortunately it is not yet fully operational...
so for now most slaughtering
is still done at the market
but the merchants are looking forward to sell controled meat

Primary school in Julud Mundri
A vegetable garden
needs a lot of water in summer time
Site where a dam will be constructed
right now cattle gets water from a well
The whole area should be flooded
This will include
the nubbak tress
that grow along the stream
which will be blocked by the dam
Seen from above
Beautiful scenery of Julud.
Someone is dropping of mosques
Maybe these girls will be very pleased with them?
They even wear gloves...
Returnees in Katla
they have a hard time
the area has received
very limited assistance
And many people are extremely poor
They are asking for basic things
A hand pump maybe
or a clinic?
NRRDO gave the poorest houselholds
a small herd of goats
that will hopefully prosper
Enough seen in Julud: back to Kadugli
The road between Dilling and Kadugli is still not finished
(and one wonders if it ever will be)
