      I cant help but notice that the "help" just keeps these people in a loop. They have babies, bring them into this life of misery, then when the baby is at the point of death, they give them this packaged "nutrition" just to keep them alive and then set back into that miserable world of starvation and poverty.... Poverty is not even the word, they are at geound zero. Its really tragic. I dont think anything is helping. What a tragic world we live in that we cant even aolve something this easy!

      I'll be donating a grand total of Nowt mate! Not a chance would I ever just give my money away hoping that it gets to where its supposed to go to and used for some good, because only the most naive among us would ever believe that the moneys donated actually reach the advertised destination. For every £1 donated only 10-14 pence actually gets there. Red tape and "fees" eat up 90% of the money donated it's a very corrupt world (and sadly that's still a 100% true fact!)

    I work with a small nonprofit operating in South Sudan, and I want to say thank you so much for sharing these videos with the world. These people have been forgotten by so much of the world. I can attest that traveling throughout South Sudan is like being on a different planet, especially compared to what so many of us know in the West. I appreciate you shedding a light on the issues plaguing this young country, as well as showing the heart, determination, and graciousness of the South Sudanese. Very well done.

I couldn't make it through the tears. Before the video was over I sent $1,000 to Unicef to help feed the malnourished children.

      Please, please please don’t send money to UNICEF THE BUREAUCRACY IS CRAZY. Living in the capital of Kenya, their neighbors to the south there’s a lot of South Sudanese refugees here and from the situation they explained to us the UN is only as effective as the government in which the country it’s in is. You heard him say they were police honking and clearing people out of the way so that a convoy of brand new Toyota Land Cruiser can pass people living in abject poverty but government officials are driving cars worth 150,000-300,000 per convoy. And because of such of the thousand dollars you’ve donated which by the way, thank you so much 80% will never reach these people. Sorry for the unsolicited advice but in my opinion, it’s better to put in research and find NGOs and like Nick here where you know the money doesn’t pass through government officials first who already live in our country with their kids, leaving their own country to live in an IDP like what you’re saying

      Was it ever ok? Could you guys ever revert back to a tribal way of life? Wouldn't you be happier? I know I would be, no disrespect to you.
      But once you come to western Europe and are 3 generations in you'll find out.
      Taxes, overworking, social degeneration as well as physical and mental.
      Your future generations will have health problems as well as mental ones.
      Its a sick society, it could work and could be better but modern society has just as many problems, just different ones.
      If the structure was there I'd move to the congo, have a tribe wife, have children, drink raw cows milk all day and hunt animals. Shit only got worse for everybody when we decided to make life complicated
      The problem with your society is that you have one leg in, one leg out, one in the modern world and one in the tribal.
      You're a tribal people fighting for money and hierarchy when there's no body actually investing in your country, nor enough innovative or educated people to create businesses.
      So what do you want to do? Fix your country and become a part of the first world? Or be happy with what you have and live a simple life.
      Struggle or not struggle, your destiny lies in your community and how well you treat each other.
      You can only fix something wrong in your life when you realize that all the responsibility lies on your shoulders, this is your problem and your problem to fix

I just pray the government gives the new generation greater opportunities to develop this nation in peace and unity - no tribalism.

    Thank you for this incredible series. You have a wonderful, disarming interview style. The footage from the hospital brought me to tears! I donated what I could. I hope south sudan finds peace and stability soon! Sending love ❤

    South Sudan really deserves a Major Change. I do hope that one day they will become a Developed Country in the near Future. Sending Love from the Philippines 🇵🇭 🤝 🇸🇸

    Your journalism thru videos are amazing! So many of us "hear" of the devastation...poverty with the lack of food...shelter...education and medical needs...
    But to actually "see" this through your reporting brings an actual awareness of how bad things are.
    The adults shown in your videos are so humble and the sweet Children smiling and giggling are the hope for this country.
    Thank you Nick for all that you do....your purpose in your travels are also the hope for many who are suffering!
    Prayers as always for your continued safety.

    I really love watching your videos because you do such a good job of trying to show people, who might not otherwise see these countries, both the bad and the good if you can. I also apperciate that you use your platform to share places we can donate where it will hopefully do the most good. I appreciate and love all of your content and I cant wait for more.

      Why is he making a profit from people's suffering? Why can't he showcase videos of white people suffering? This guy is a loser. People are suffering for his own TH-cam views, showing them like that without regard for their privacy, etc. Can he even do that in Europe or the US? Of course not, because he will face lawsuits, etc
