Conflict in South Sudan: Dispatch Two

[@Fumfig]

This guy has got some balls. This is real journalism.

[@Spec922]

VICE will always stand out as the best of the best inside Journalism, in my opinion. Brave journalists who visits different conflicts, endanger themselves, props to them. VICE is superb journalism! They show us more of the truth around the world than CNN, CBS, Fox, BBC, Sky and all those other major news shows. Or better said, VICE is all about reality than trivial things that a lot of the other named news corporates usually do.

[@NIKSEEN]

eLusion true that.

[@SunniLeBoeuf]

eLusion NIKSEEN ...And then you have Eddy Huang......

[@SunniLeBoeuf]

Nick Malellis especially their statues... they have huge enormous balls.

[@nickmalellis936]

but with this damn crysis they have all chriveled up

[@NHL07DS]

A lot of respect for this journalist, brave man to be right in the thick of it. I wish all of Vices journalists were as good as him.

[@joshmyers6073]

THIS is the vice I've missed for so long.. Raw docu footage right from the front line.. Eye opening to say the least. Keep up the good work vice!

[@red9jumpers]

holly shit your a brave ass reporter. hats off to you sir.

[@BusanKevin]

Holy crap! Brilliant and ballsy reporting!

[@SuperDungeonBoy]

Hey BusanKevin ! Love your videos bro, I didn't know you watch Vice video too ...sweet !

[@lukaj1n]

Not really. The graphic material is exquisite as always and the information given too, but vice needs to get rid of this reporter. Its too hard to understand his dialect and considering the fact that you are a reporter writing or filming for a paper that has an international youtube channel you cannot talk that way. It gets a bit better while watching but this dude needs to change his job; Put yourself in my position: you enjoy VICE a lot and want to understand something that they are referring to in a Doc, but the guy talking speaks with scottish or irish accent and you only understand half of what he says? sad sad :( ONE LOVE

[@nicholasgreen8703]

lukaj1n That is very strange. It may be because I am from Canada and am more use to the accent that the reporter has but I could understand him perfectly well.

[@geshkickshank]

lukaj1n Yeah did you ever think it's just you who can't understand the video and there are other people in the world that it's perfectly clear to? Ignorant Americans man.

[@freedomwv]

That really was some good reporting. That took balls of steel for sure. It looks like South Sudan is a shit storm at the moment. Government forces better come up with a more solid plan of attack if else they are going to lose control.

[@kier06]

Big respect for this guy, going into warzones like this. Especially sat talking into the camera whilst bullets whiz overhead lol

[@thethreeamazingmen]

i think talking to the camera was a way to hold his nerve and distract himself from the fact he could be shot at any moment haha

[@Magyari1]

the war sponsored by: TOYOTA

[@PonchoANS7]

I've said it before, but I'll say it again; this guy is one of Vice's best journalists. Egyptian riots? Covered. Syrian war? Covered. South Sudanese conflict? Fucking covered. Also, he isn't an arrogant little hipster like the others.

[@LRGoodGame]

Fantastic reporting.

[@brentmcghee2296]

This reporter is defiantly a good one. I've watched another one of his. And just as good

[@Joe-og6br]

Best VICE reporter by a mile. He needs to be picked up by the BBC.

[@khanman6874]

FUN FACT: THE BBC REPORTER IS WITH THIS GUY IN THIS VIDEO. YOU CAN SEE HIM AT SOME PARTS

[@doxfire]

NOW THIS IS JOURNALISM, IN THE SHIT!

[@Josse702]

What a poorly lead army

[@danyoda8542]

yea, many of them are untrained, and this is probably the first battle for most of them. The real SPLA soldiers retired after the Independence, those were well trained soldiers, they were disciplined, unlike these poorly trained soldiers that lack discipline.

[@inquisitive871]

By far the most graphic Vice documentary!!!!!!!!!!

[@chris103050]

Great journalism. Thanks.

[@JTelli786]

That journalist seems braver than half these men.

[@nivel-]

Journalism at its absolute best. No other news corporation is half as brave or in-depth as Vice.

[@daniellink6370]

I cant believe this kind of journalism still exist really puts your mind with these people. good job

[@BasicEndjo]

wow you have some big balls for doing this

[@RevenantLink]

it's like a scary disney ride... much respect to this fellow, and these soldiers. brave people indeed

[@DaLoopDiggerz]

Holy shit, this is a very good documentary, you've got balls of steel sir !

[@robertoramirez9030]

this reporter has balls of steel! hands down !!!

[@mainemonty]

thanks vice for the reporting..cheers

[@shelteredtelevision5957]

This is the kind of thing I want to get involved in after college. Complete immersive reporting. There's no more of a service a journalist can do for the world than risking their own safety so the world can be brought sights and facts they otherwise would be ignorant of.

[@isthisrealchat222]

did you end up doing it?

[@begelzim]

Awesome! Can't wait for the next one!!

[@VincentArma3]

Can I just say. This reporter is so good, it is unreal. I am surprised he isn't working for the BBC as a war correspondent. That and the fact that even under fire, he is calm.

[@kiemruach6266]

I'm from south sudan, but I was raised in the United States. I'm nuer, the ethnicity of the rebels, and I'm not taking sides,but there does need to be a change in Juba. Ever since we got our independence the dinka have been in power and were inclined to keep it. So they discriminated against many other ethnic groups such as the nuer to keep their role the government small and maintain control. I'm not trying to justify the rebels, I think they are also to blame, but we can't be a new nation with the same ideals as the old. I fear for not only my relatives in juba, but for the nation as a whole.

[@johndoerubytosa]

A+ journalism!

[@WinnipegCarSpotter]

Very intense footage!! Stay safe over there

[@ICY-HURR]

This guy has balls of steel

[@NyecoGuapo]

this guy have balls of steel man ... :D

[@partytor11]

A pair of Imperial Guard standard issue Adamantium balls.

[@ferallai2771]

He's white, he perfectly knows he's safe.

[@TheSchakalify]

Awesome. But not knowing a lot about this conflict I'd wish for some more background information. E. g. I have no idea what Nuer are or why they are fighting.

[@Stellerex]

Damn good reporting! Keep up the amazing work guys. Thank you VICE Crew for putting your lives on the line filming the stuff that you do.

[@Brommes]

thisvis journalism at its best.. I salute you

[@kumbackquatsta]

incredible and intense

[@wishen4fishen2]

True journalism that we will never ever see on lame stream media in T.V. which I no longer even watch.

[@MyStonerMind420]

I don't make jokes about war. We must keep fighting for peace!

[@XDRosenheim]

'murica ?

[@imrorsh2593]

XDRosenheim At least we're doing something.

[@Mr.Pickles519]

I too like to shit on people from the sidelines.

[@rakhasulaiman9842]

My Stoner Mind what ? It's you my favorite youtuber 😂😂

[@LazyBastard69]

Yes, we must murder, rape and torture more people for peace! Good idea, and great logic. Good job!

[@majharsoren2975]

My friends right now - Have you watched Extraction? . Me - watching documentaries from Vice

[@Noodlz2]

The vice we all love. A reporter with an unbiased out look on the situation. That's not afraid to get raw footage.

[@567DeadMan]

Possibly the best journalist I've ever witnessed.

[@_jbrockk3920]

Finally some real press coverage that doesn't gloss over the reality of things, props to the reporter too, I would imagine you'd need to have serious nerves to keep your head like he did.

[@SarkTheShark94]

Amazing video

[@MoneyIsntRealGeorge]

talk about having some big balls and going in there to film.. got damn! respect.

[@SkimoBeats]

Vice.... we need some footage from the rebel side.

[@ewahlrab]

This is why I watch Vice!

[@breeve12]

Terrifying

[@rd47blog]

Thanks, reminded me of the reporters during Nam.

[@pusqa]

who is the blurred out guy at 12:18 and 12:27?

[@TheStonedReaper]

Great piece of reporting, it really gives a sense of the situation on the ground. Guy for sure needs a raise as suggested already!

[@damienmunstrosit2957]

Awesome

[@eTheBlack]

Who was that blurred man? Probaly Lord of War

[@titans1984]

I saw that...maybe CIA or French DGSE...

[@1undeadwarr]

12:20 for people that didnt catch that

[@ghosty1233]

That was Obama

[@titans1984]

LOL, he's everywhere

[@workie123]

I discovered VICE yesterday, you guys are GREAT! Most journalists just copy everything, but you guys just make really good items :-) Keep up the good work!

[@tomollie]

All those BEAUTIFUL Norinco weapons man ):

[@paul8m3]

I feel like a prick wishing I had a few of their bakelite mags.

[@paul8m3]

Heres something interesting, watch 'conflict in south sudan: dispatch three' for possible reasons for the availability of those norinco rifles.

[@tomollie]

paul8m3 We can't get them easily in America /: Norinco is banned import if you can get one they cost around $2000+ for a semi-auto version lol ( The Polytech Type 56 Bakelite side folder that is ). Its funny though, that expensive AK in Africa probably cost them a chicken & a bag of rice

[@paul8m3]

If the citizens of the US were valuable in winning oil rights for china, norincos would cost almost nothing. Its likely that they are given at bottom dollar to any faction willing to fight for china's influence in any region of the world, that has oil reserves. But being that they're expense is due to some bullshit legislation in the 90s, its sad for the collectors and sportsmen alike.

[@tomollie]

paul8m3 Yep. My milled Norinco MAK-90 cost $200 brand new in the box in the 90's Iol.

[@MrMr190]

such a courageous reporter. brilliant work.

[@ciaranreaper]

Holy shit this is the coolest thing done by Vice, possibly ever!

[@rprasannakumar]

That was terrifying ...

[@lgwelsh1]

This reporter is the best, right in the action and great commentary. Real professional.

[@Heinuudel]

I'm sorry but what kind of army is that? Seems to me they had no idea what they were doing

[@MrMiamiswaggz305]

Is Toyota funding this war

[@SunniLeBoeuf]

more precisely, they're sponsoring it.

[@TheThomQ]

In every conflict in any underdeveloped country, you'll see Toyota trucks with rusty machine guns mounted on the back,

[@ninjalemurdude]

Toyota's trucks are pretty cheap compared to other companies.

[@daedrick]

Toyota are reliable that's why underdeveloped country have tons of them.

[@Ecselsiour]

TheThomQ The Toyota Hilux is basically a Tank, as proved by Top Gear.

[@789french5]

This is the type of content that I subscribe to vice for! Keep it coming! Front line reporting, one of the last media outlets to actually risk it.

[@thefrosty1925]

6:10 Holy shit. I want that buggy! Look at that thing :D At least these guys know how to armour vehicles!

[@nikosingh8549]

Why did they ruined the Land cruiser's beautiful interior?? @ 1:49

[@GAMING24SEVEN]

I love VICE always raw and uncut!

[@EnveeH2]

Crazy! Awesome journalism right there!

[@briannolan9176]

Keep making more of these, their great

[@andataris1]

No medic? Bizarre.

[@jkenney940]

Please tell everyone to stop the violence.... Please...

[@dssin]

I pray for your peace South Sudan, you've come such along way to secede from the Khartoum Government, I hope the bloodshed ends soon and your people will prosper.

[@rastaman24211]

Did anybody else find it ironic to hear an SPLA general at the beginning of this video saying that the rebel army doesn`t have a right to fight and belittling rebels as being untrained and undisciplined? I mean the SPLA was a rebel army for virtually its entire existence.

[@AlejandroFlores-ry8lv]

These vids really deserve more views!

[@NinjaSushi007]

I'd say their soldiers definitely need training. There's a reason why the United States is at the top when it comes to military.

[@andataris1]

Yes. $.

[@snoopsnoop5]

06:08....The Halo looking vehicle with mounted machine gun is an EPIC DIY armory.

[@mochababy2]

All Mr cool soldiers until shit goes crazy then they run!! they need training

[@PropofAnd]

Full respect for a journalist!

[@GBraddock2010]

I wanna know what cameras and equipment they take with them

[@XTHEKEVINATORX]

it must be scary as hell to fight like that with no cover.

[@Iverdozed]

That tire...HOW?

[@ayodawg7653]

Imagine if they had humvees, weights, protein shakes, and a little more advanced training, they would truly be a special force

[@DoctorMindo]

There should be subtitles for the reporter too

[@mandjevantichelaar]

Who is the white man at 12:18?

[@leahsdreams]

That was utter chaos, i didn't see a single use of actual military strategy....

[@lexy1729]

that was brilliant

[@markwildman2576]

Vice is the only group producing real journalism currently

[@TWOTHIRTYS3V3N]

I'm so glad I found this Vice channel. The internet was getting fucking boring......

[@DoorvilleLamourEtPaix]

How he says "ballot paper" at 1:20 lol

[@MrSwoleUp]

They need to develop a better game plan next time. I would like to see reports from the rebels as well.

[@NinjaStormm]

Part 3 soon?

[@EpicMoose12345]

the general seems like a nice guy

[@partytor11]

Seems to be alot of commander stupidity going on...

[@kadyrovbog]

Same feeling

[@tomaspelliccione]

thats some great footage

[@derhaifisch7909]

14:00 that bulletproof jacket seems hard to pierce xD

[@Lexman00]

I assume everyone want to play the sniper in that army LOL Good video, btw, Vice.

[@btenkink]

Seriously ballsy journalism

[@qpowiejfqpweif]

too short

[@MeoLaKid]

10:28 Crocs??

[@wfmikeie]

Great work Vice. Have to day I enjoy frontline stuff a lot more than kids telling dirty jokes and food

[@Bonobo277]

6:10 wtf an ATV with a machine gun?

[@jmyersv1]

They certainly fight like a clusterfuck.

[@Muhlogan]

As always, excellent content VICE!!!
