In Tesse, South Kordofan, Sudan, Hussein hides in a makeshift foxhole to avoid the bombings from the Antonov flying around the area.
A few minutes later, the Antonov dropped 3 bombs nearby on civilian area destroying a house.
In the Nuba mountains, sudanese bombers drop bombs on civil and military areas. People have been forced to move to mountains caves, the only place they can be safe in case of bombings.© Camille Lepage - All rights reserved 2013

Early morning in a cattle camp in Warrap State, South Sudan. As a pastoralist tribe, the Dinka from Twic county keep cattle of over 200 cows in open camp.
Traditionally, children look after and herd them.
Cattle are a symbol of wealth and used as a dowry to marry a girl.

In a local bar in Turalei, South Sudan, internally displaced South Sudanese and returnees from Khartoum are under influence of home-made beer made of sorghum from the early hours of the morning.
Most came back after the Independence of South Sudan in 2011, but very few manage to find a job or make a living. They are badly hit by food shortage and struggle to adapt themselves into a society they do not belong to.

Read our interview on dvafoto with photographer Camille Lepage about her work in South Sudan, where she has been living since July 2012. These photos are from her story about the war in South Kordofan. You can see more of her work on dvafoto or on her tumblr
Captions: “The rebels of the SPLA-N are walking in the plains of Qualip where families have taken refuge to avoid the bombings coming from the Sudanese government.” and “The Sudanese government’s bombings target both military and civilians areas. The Antonovs fly hundreds of metres up in the sky, only the far away humming of the planes allow the villagers to react, sometimes too late, and find refugee near a tree or in the caves.”

One of South Sudan’s main plagues is related to health. Lack of infrastructure make it very difficult for families to access local clinics, often kilometres away from each other.
Many children suffer from chest infections, malnutrition and malaria. Those diseases often provoke convulsions that might lead to the death of the child.
All of them are preventable disease that could easily be cured when treatments are accessible. in Aweil, Nothern Bahr El Gazal, South Sudan

I’m thrilled that my work from the Nuba mountains, Sudan was published in Le Monde.
I hope it will bring a little more attention to this forgotten part of the world.
