You Can Never Come Home
Nov. 20, 2006 - White Nile, Sudan - Most of the 350 returning Dinka tribespeople on board the barge are women, children and the elderly. Many of the young men that would have been married to these women were either killed in the civil war or are walking the Dinka tribeÕs thousands of cattle north along the east side of the river. The 21-year civil war is said to have cost the lives of 2 million people and displaced an estimated 4 million Sudanese from their traditional tribal homelands.
