Day 1: Walking Streets of South Sudan (beyond words)

[@IndigoTraveller]

*South Sudan has been on my list for a long time.* It has always intrigued me and made me want to see what it is like on the ground due to the recent history. I managed to get access to some areas of South Sudan that have rarely been covered. This is going to be an interesting trip to say the least. Thank you for joining me. I am curious, how familiar are you with South Sudan, the world's newest country, and its recent past? Let me know below and thanks for watching. Nick 🇸🇸

[@miguelbalisi9952]

If we see a scene like this, RIGHT AWAY, our impression is THE ENTIRE COUNTRY LOOKS LIKE THIS. ( we all tend to) Wrong. It may be so many communities look like this but there's just as many that looks fine. We are all judgmental. We judge anyone and any place from our first impression. For a person to be judged, we need to live with that person and for us to know how a place is, we need to see and experience its entirety for a reasonable period of time. Especially for us who live in the rich part of the western world, we tend to paint a country based on the first color we see it is. We forget that people from poor countries also have pride and honor. They did not choose to be born in a poor country. Did we? in the west? where from the get go, the moment we turn the working age, we don't really struggle finding jobs and once we did, it is the start of our freedom: TO BUY WHAT WE WANT AND ENJOY LIFE. It's not the case for those born in extremely poor countries. It would be nice if we look at poor nationalities the same way we look at ourselves.

[@wendyHew]

@@miguelbalisi9952 Well you say that they did not choose to be born in a poor country which is true however the parents chose to have children knowing that they would be born into a dangerous and poor environment, infact many of these people are having more children than families in the west. People argue that there is no protection/condoms availabe but that means these people are choosing to have sex kowing that they will likely get pregnant regardless of the suffering it will cause the child. Where is the accountability??

[@miguelbalisi9952]

@wendyHew true. Not to defend irresponsibility if it's seen that way, but If you are not brought up in a strong Catholic culture, one that doesn't believe in family control or planning, it is very convenient and easy to say what you said. You were not born in strong Catholic and family values and beliefs. We are. It is easy to say we need to be responsible, but we have our own religious or cultural convictions, something no one should find fault in. It is the place of the government to IMPOSE what needs be, to the effect that EVERY CITIZEN will obey, like China's iron-handed ONE CHILD policy, which worked, or, the Chinese would have been 2 billion by now. One more culture we have is the American freedom that we inherited from the American government. We are democratic and free to choose. It is a NO-EASY-FIX. I would REITERATE my point, we are born in a strong Catholic and family-oriented culture, free of individualism, and democratic form of government. You were not. This may put blame on religion but it will boil down to the west's "Live an easy life" avoid hardship, one that is impossible for everyone. But let us abide by the west's promotion of RESPECT FOR ALL. Try putting on our shoes at least on a fair perspective, not judgmental, the way the westerners do it. The bottom line is the lack of job for all. Filipinos are known as hardworkers. In as much as the government do a constant Clearing Operation of Manila, the vendors on our sidewalks comes back once the Police is gone. They need to make money. Funny but it is a testament to the Filipinos hardworking character to be able to get by. Our government also provide welfare to THE AUTHENTICALLY PROVEN disabled, depressed, orphaned and destitute citizens. They use welfare monet to buy basic needs.

[@wendyHew]

@@miguelbalisi9952 Religion was disproven a long tine ago now, people have the freedom to take part in religious things but it is now more of a hobby than an unbreakable code so it does not really factor into people's responsibility in the modern world. The catholic religion was debunked even earlier in 1517, the reformation proved that religious leaders and the church had made up large parts of the religion to take money from people, for example the idea of purgatory was proven to have been invented at a meeting of church leaders. Hence the creation of protestants. The fact is that we have scientific information available to all so they cannot really claim religion as a reason for their actions when the evidence is there to discover and learn. Even with a person who has had the facts hidden from them and believes in religion they still have their own judgement and decision making skills to know when something is wrong and act accordingly, that is why martin Luther spoke out in 1517 because he knew what was right and wrong. Surely with a religious person they are taught that jesus is a good person that helps people and tries to stop suffering, so despite any rules he would not like a person that knew there could be suffering and made it happen, that would be an insult to the idea that he died for people's sins and to make the world a better place. In reality it comes down to critical thinking, even if a person was determined to have multiple children surely they should beforehand make a concerted effort to make money and prepare a safe environment for the proposed child. In addition, regarding religion, if a person had a child that they knew would suffer and that child went on to die from sickness or poverty, they would be responsible for their death ensuring they would go to hell, and even without a death if they intentionally brought about suffering to a creation of god that is as innocent and a child that may be reason enough for eternity in hell anyway

@@miran3160 I think it’s a tragedy what has happened to Black Americans. Honestly I wish BLM was more structured but it fell apart .Working in corporate America I get nasty looks all day from white men and all I’ve done is my job. BLM wouldn’t be a thing if racism didn’t exist in America or anywhere for that matter. Honestly black Americans want to be treated the as an equal why should there been civil rights why should there have Jim Crow? Why should there have been redlining, Even Equal opportunities laws that says alot about America if those laws have to exist. Why? America is supposed to be a 1st world country but acts like a third world country in values. Honestly I didn’t travel halfway around the world to discriminate against.

His kindness radiated through every word he spoke, and his humility was so genuine it left a lasting impression. He had the gentlest soul, and had a smile that lit up the room, impossible to forget. What struck me even more was how my dog responded to him. I've never seen my dog so overjoyed to meet someone new. The connection between them was instant and pure. I still think about that moment, and I sincerely hope that he and his family are thriving and finding happiness in America. They truly deserve it.

I visited North Sudan (Khartoum) in 1980 at age 20, and met a young woman from South Sudan, about my age, who was working for a fairly wealthy family as a house maid. Her English was very good. We got along very well, and she told me she really wanted to further her education and make a better life for herself. I really hope that happened. Her determination made an impact on me. In recent years I have been helping support a community project in Pajok, South Sudan. Some of the children are currently living in Uganda, continuing their education, safer and we'll cared for in a hostel. They see their mum's at the weekends. Young adults there are pursuing professional education; medical, teaching, paramedic. Real progress is being made, and I am thrilled for them. I have no idea if they will return to South Sudan, but they are in good jobs, those who have qualified, so they can help support their families. It is a privilege and joy to help them. I know where the money goes, which gives me confidence in giving for that reason. God bless you in your work ❤️

Hi Nick. Since discovering your channel this morning I've been watching them back to back. South Sudan is another place I have been very interested in, though I'm white and never been to Africa.

It does have roots in the USA, but it is mainly indigenous nowadays. Over the years it has grown from one man teaching orphan children under a tree right after the war that separated S. Sudan from Sudan. My heart goes out to the people of S. Sudan, to those caught in the web of poverty and living on/in the streets. And to those who try so hard to scratch a living on a rock, so to speak.

This is the aftermath of Colonialism. When people are colonized, they are also being governed, and there are support systems in place. Plantations are bad, but there is food, water, shelter, and an outhouse. When South Sudan gained it's independence in 2011, those support systems collapsed. And war is almost always inevitable until a balance is reached. Think of the U.S. when slavery was abolished. There were Jim Crow Laws, segregation, lynching, police brutality, indentured servitude, political assassinations, etc. When we Africans came out on the other side of that, we were and are still angry. We are still healing. This happens in all countries, but it is difficult to watch it when the living conditions are this extreme. Remember when we were kids, and people made skinny Ethiopian jokes? Look at Ethiopia, Botswana, South Africa, Rwanda, and many other African countries TODAY. Twenty years ago, people were terrified of Rwanda, now people vacation there. Really look & see how far they've come since escaping the claws of Colonialism. Keep the faith. They will heal overtime, and things will get better. ❤✊🏾

It still is bothersome however that this is something an entire country has to go thru. But from what you've shared i can see this is part of the process. Jesus loves you! Thanks again & Hugs from afar!

I remember when South Sudan gained independence in 2011. There were hopes amongst countless relief workers and organizations that this peaceful separation and new country would FINALLY bring lasting stability to the region. For it to fall to this is nothing short of heartbreaking. The people of Botswana probably have little idea how lucky they are to have never had these horrible stability and corruption problems compared to countless of their African neighbors. It shows just how unique Seretse Khama was as a founding leader.

[@Riceman-o1p]

Religion doesn't do squat, in fact in Africa, the silly Christian religion that Americans bring teaches people how to hate their neighbors and kill them if they are different, especially if they are gay. Religion is garbage and it drags humanity down, not up.

He approached a breastfeeding woman with a camera and didn't even take a hint when her husband got close to him. Then took his camera all inside their house. This guy is disrespectful and lacks emotional intelligence (empathy). He will do anything for attention and people like you should not validate him or commend him. This is not journalism in any way, shape or form. This guy would never even think about doing something like this in a western country like the United States or the U. K.

Nick I feel so fortunate to have found your channel. I have binge watched your videos for the last 2 days. I am amazed at what your courageous & insightful content has taught me about Haiti, Venezuala, Iran, Iraq, Somalia, North Korea & Yemen (My viewing so far) What we are fed in the media (whatever form that takes) is mostly dispelled by your objective viewpoint & interactions with the actual people that live in these countries rather than the politics we are fed. Thank you for showing the real people in these countries, it is seriously educational & helps change perceptions that are often built on half truths, propaganda & straight out lies. Thank you mate, truly appreciate your content.

Hi Nick. Would love if you were able to do a journalistic vlog in Jamaica. We are by no means the poorest country but yet consistently the top 3-5 most violent in terms of murders per capita. It is a very dichotomous island and has alot to offer the world. Please be safe in all your travels! Blessings!

I lived in a small Costa Rican beach town on the Caribbean side an hour south of Limon. I met many refugees escaping hardships in Jamaica who would save $ many years to afford a spot on a port ship to come to costa rica looking for a better life. The small beachside towns are heavily populated with Jamaicans and their culture. Reading your comment about the country surprise’s me because they are the nicest people.
