“We are tired. We are losing our husbands, we are losing our children. How long are we going to talk about peace?” cries Alice Senna Philip, as she sits alongside weeping women in a dark, humid tukul in the heart of Government-held Yei town. A short helicopter flight away, it is the same story for Mama Joyce Kela, who lives amongst hundreds of soldiers deep in the bush in Opposition-held territory. “We have heard of peace but there are still atrocities taking place. Why is it that when war breaks out, the victims are the women. We are not happy. Do the fighters fight because of women or because they are just soldiers who like killing?” This is the tale of two women reaching across the political divide in a shared search for peace in war-torn South Sudan. Hear their story and what regional peace brokers are doing to help them.
