“When you are in a dangerous situation, you run. You forget about everything because life is the most precious”, says Angelo.
He, his wife Viola, and their young children escaped South Sudan under the cover of darkness, in order to escape from imminent death in one of their country’s bloodiest conflicts. The family walked 60 to 70 km to the border with Uganda. The images of death along the way will stay with Angelo forever.
When they arrived in Uganda, the family was given a small plot of land from which to begin their new and uncertain lives in a new country. They were one of the first refugee families to live in what is now one of the largest refugee settlements in the world—Bidibidi.
