More Nomads




I had a request to share more pictures of the Nomads.

There are many, many tribes here in Sudan, that move south for the dry season and then back north again in the wet season. They originally came from as far away as North or West Africa.

We had another patrol out that met up with a big group again last week. They move with all that they have. Mostly, they are friendly, but they are a society within a society and there can be a lot of pressure placed upon the usual residents of a place that they are moving through. So far in our area at least, they seem to move peacefully among the local population.
