Some 40,000 people have fled fighting in Sudan to go to South Sudan, one of the world's poorest countries.
At first sight it is a scene that is difficult to take in.Mothers and children are sat under them sheltering from the burning sun, protected from the bone-dry earth by mats. In the evening small fires burn as some boil tea or cook fish, vegetables and anything else they have been able to gather.Amid this I spot Matiang - dressed in a black and gold shirt and blue cut-out jeans, with a guitar case strapped to his back.A crowd quickly gathers as the slim, tall young man begins to strum.
South Sudan broke away from Sudan in 2011 after a decades-long military struggle against the government in Khartoum. "They have lost their livelihood sources or their properties first in South Sudan due to the [crises] in 2013 and 2016, and now with the new violence in Sudan they have lost. So, they have faced double shocks," explains South Sudanese activist Edmund Yakani.
Some analysts believe the conflict in Sudan could have a negative impact on the South Sudan peace agreement signed in 2018 after years of war which is estimated to have killed at least 400,000 people.
