<h3>What is your opinion on the events that have occurred between South Sudan and Sudan ?</h3>

I'd like to hear someones opinion towards the conflict happening between Sudan and South Sudan.


<strong>Sudan best answer:</strong>
<p><i>Answer by Rising_Star</i><br/>Divided we fall, united we stand. Some people have an interest in perpatuating the conflict, they play on the differences there is, especially the religious one, which always was the bone of contention. I think its a shame, despite the differences, those people still share many things in common historically, all they'd need is to find a ground of understanding. Maybe I'm just too wishfull, all the countries in the world have some things in common in a way or another, yet there are many ongoing wars. *sighs*</p>

An Oxfam hygiene promotion session in Thonyor village, Leer county, Unity State, southern Sudan.

Only one in fifteen people in southern Sudan have access to latrines and adequate sanitation. As a result, water-borne diseases such as cholera and diarrhea can easily spread.

Oxfam health workers organize regular community meetings to explain basic steps that can help reduce the risk of illness.
