I love this show because its not all about facts and opinions politically like a lot of other channels. This actually gets the sides of those suffering or experiencing whatever the topic may be. Its truely educational and mind opening!

It's sad that we as Americans live in a word where seeing a dead body is still "scary".. we can get therapy.. we can get clean clothes, clean running water. We can hug our families goodnight & not worry they won't be alive in the morning. I hope more little guys that are numb & blank in the eyes are able to find the mother/father/brother/sister that can maybe just maybe bring back the smallest sparkle in their eyes back 😓❤😍😭

[@lauraleiburnette2691]

@@Sultanofszing I hardly call 25 years by the Nubian those that ruled out of 3000 years. If you look at Africa unbiased you will see that Blacks are the reason for the sadness. Blacks in Africa have been practicing slavery upon their own people for thousands of years and selling you to Arabs and Europeans. It was European people who abolished slavery. Not Africa. The countries that are civilized are Semitic, or European run. North Africa is Semitic and always has been. The Sub saharan people are still Nomads and are hunter gathers. They don't even have running water, sanitation systems. The Nubians stole their knowledge from the Egyptians. Not the other way around. The Muslims have been using Black Africans as slaves for ever and your own Black African rulers have allowed it. Apparently the Nubians forgot to pass down the knowledge of simple plumbing and building....

[@audreygrace619]

These children are so clearly traumatized, evidenced by their reactions to seeing their parents (especially at the beginning). They did not react like typical children. Their brains, and therefore their behavior, have been irreversibly rewired by trauma. It's so sad to see.

[@jojomakes]

A lot of them are really young. Also, they've been separated for over 2 years. They may have forgotten a lot.

[@monmarajan4611]

The world is such a crazy place, this broke me to know that there are conditions like this unknown to many, few have given attention to. War is a very devastating human creation. Breaking away families, stealing away childhood dreams and innocence. When are we going to fully enjoy our lives fairly. Where everyone lives humanely and at peace.

No, they don't need to be adopted by white people, but South Sudanese people so they can keep their identities. They don't need outside help but inside help, outside help will remve the accountability from the government, which needs to be handled in South Sudan.
