From "The Last
Place on Earth" "...Southern Sudan is the end of
the earth not because the people are forced to eat leaves or live in huts
or dress in rags, or because they have no electricity or phone lines or
infrastructure, or because they are evicted from their homes or lose sight
of their families forever or die of every disease that invades their
territory, or because they have no medicine to
combat those diseases, no books for their education, or because they often
have to crawl on a sere and pitiless earth for a sip of water, or even
because they are perpetually hunted by those who want either to own their
souls or to bury them. Southern Sudan is the end of the earth because all
these things are happening and nobody seems to care..." |
