“If Abyei has peace then there is no problem to stay there, I will go back to Abyei.
“The life here in Nyintar is so difficult after leaving Abyei. We get by, by selling some of our possessions [to buy food].
“When some traders come around with some dura [sorghum] or maize, you just go and buy, and that is what we are depending on, and if you have relatives you go and beg them for something.
“That’s why my husband has gone to Agok - to ask some relatives to give something. It’s only when you go to relatives, he or she can give you a little money to buy some grain.
“If you get something now and then that you can depend on - that is our diet.
“If I get seeds, that is what would make my life OK because I could cultivate, and if I have access to a harvest I could sell the remainder and change my diet if possible. But for now, we are depending on the leaves of the trees and the fruit of lalop [tree].”
