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.
