its not hard to get a job at costco, you'd have to be an absolute dropkick not to, and hes thankful of his life, you're complaining while all those people in sudan are getting fucked
Robert Young Pelton is one of the best journalists on planet Earth. You guys should check out the movie he was in called "Shadow Company", which was about private military contractors.
yeah as said above, it's a rite of passage for Nuer men, done in the late teens, essentially marking the point where you become a man: during the ritual you get 6 lines cut in your forehead. Apparently it's become less common from the 70s onward (particularly in the Eastern part of Nuerland) as the Nuer modernise and have to flee due to fighting, which is why not every Nuer in the film has it.
Tribal markings of either dinker or nuer (I'm not sure which one). Part of the problem is that the scaring identifies you as part of one of the tribes and as the war is between these two tribes a lot of people are scared for their lives because if the opposition sees your markings they may kill you.
well, he's either full of hot air or outstandingly impressive about saying he doesn't feel like returning home. although, when he says something like that, for those who wish to flee and CAN'T... it's a violent slap in their faces.
Ill tell you the problem, same as EVERY country in Africa, every single group wants the whole pie, every politician wants all the power, simple as that, they just cant get along and share, and they never will. Our middle school students could run countries better, and I mean that.
Could someone possibly explain to me what the scars on Rashards (pretty sure that's spelt wrong) face are about? Is it cultural, religious or a product of him being a child soldier- just curious :)
You can handle a situation like this as a smart man or as a politician. It seems these guys choose the later. Shame when people allow themselves to go down such a road and fall to power.
It isn't just internet speak... these comments speak volumes about how prevalent racism is to this day. This documentary is talking about a real political situation, and all people in the comments talk about is how people are black...
oh shit noo really? That is something to be concerned about! And here I was feeling sorry for all those people and animals who were starving and scared for their life, I should be feeling sorry for your mum
I don't understand. A lot of South Sudanese are muslim, so why do the northern Sudanese want them out of their country when they are muslim as well? I assume they are all Sunni, so I can't see as to where the hatred comes from. They all serve Allah, and this should be reason enough for peace between them.
The people of Sudan will starve. The government leaders will grow fat. The people of Sudan will die in 1,000 terrible ways. The government leaders will live long after this conflict has exhausted. You see the people of Sudan are mere pons in a game to make a few men rich and wealthy. This is the story of every government. People of Sudan wake up! You don't need leaders! Be the leaders of your own life's! Strive for individual freedom, not democracy! You don't need a government!
I truly appreciate the purpose of this, but I am really averse to the narrator's tone. Describing it as a "hard and brutal place", as though these are its intrinsic qualities, is not fair, in my opinion. And also, he contrasts "Arab" with "Christian", which draws an incorrect analogy--- that is, an ethnicity with a religion.
democracy strikes again. By the way, why not just federalize the country like Switzerland? Seems to me to be the solution to Africa's problems with so many tribes in one country
"Waat? Waat aint no country I ever heard of. Do they speak english in Waat?" no. they speak Arabic in Waat. And it is a city, not a country, thank you very much Sam Jackson

I really appreciate you guys putting your lives at risk to bring us this information. Thank You.
This journalist is keeping it real.
Great to see RYP at work for Vice, doing his thing as only he can. Also nice to see Vice mixing up the age of the presenters from the under-30 set.
A foreigner who can barely speak English landed a job at Costco and I can't even get a good job like that.
What do you mean? He spoke good English.
He speaks better English than many born and raised in America.
its not hard to get a job at costco, you'd have to be an absolute dropkick not to, and hes thankful of his life, you're complaining while all those people in sudan are getting fucked
Then try harder to get one
what does that say about you?
The reporters voice is godly! Very good documentation.
I LOVE VICE SO MUCH, THIS IS REAL JOURNALISM GUYS, I SUPPORT THIS BRAND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
I really like this journalist
I learned all this from a book already it is called A Long Walk to Water it feels good to think about it again
Excellent documentary
Shocked by the racism encouraged in these comments.. Utterly shocked..
Very good docu
I love that this report was made by a more experienced journalist. I really like his style.
excellent narration
much better docu compared to the ones with the young hipster journalists
what

Was that Kobe Bryant?!? ( 1:00 )
Which one? Lol
Victorkapz All of them!
yes it was
what are those little bumps and lines on his face around his mouth and on his fourhead?
Scarring from what i assume is a traditional scarring/tattooing from his youth
That is Scarification. It's right of passage in some part of Africa.

Would be such a shock leaving famine in Sudan to work in a place like Cosco where food is everywhere and sold in such large quantities.
"In this place, we don't fight" Lmao
Oh damn

This was way different from Vice's usual style, not nearly as Gonzo, I liked it.
The narrator's voice sounds like desmond miles from assassins creed.
They took a great risk. Thank You for giving us this imformation.
lol 7:08 thats a t-shirt from my danish bank :D
i wanna work for vice news
These comments speak volumes.
The original Sudan is where I'm from and my dad died so
Ive been to His Costco in Seattle. On the weekends its worse than any war zone in any country.
Does anybody now what camera they used for photography?
One cannot simply save South Sudan.
What are the markings on his face if someone can please explain thanks
I met this guy today hes pretty cool
11:11 i thought he said masturbation 😂😂
the chair on 2:01 belongs to an hotel
I'm quite certain this warlord asked for it nicely and promised to return it in good shape...
Vice, Please stop using ALL CAPS text.
I'm sorry but them bumps and lines on his face are really disturbing but I like the video vice keep it up.
It's a rite of passage in his tribe,uncommon nowadays though.
Could someone possibly explain to me what the scars on Rashards (pretty sure that's spelt wrong) face are about? Is it cultural, religious or a product of him being a child soldier- just curious :)
Like this kind of older jurnalists... much more charismatic than the usual hipster-ish Vice joung jurnalists
What is that on his face around 03:00 ?
I might be a bit presumptuous in saying this but why not divide South Sudan into Dinkaland and Nuerland?
whoa,I just got back from Costco in Seattle.
Heh, VICE President. More than one way of seeing that name through this channel.
Dr. Riek seems high lol
You can handle a situation like this as a smart man or as a politician. It seems these guys choose the later.
Shame when people allow themselves to go down such a road and fall to power.
holy shit riek machar looks like a black simon lane from the yogscast
Sad
This is the kind of shit that takes place when people serve the interest of few...
Damn, that guy sure is old for a VICE reporter :D
watch this with captions on loll
It isn't just internet speak... these comments speak volumes about how prevalent racism is to this day. This documentary is talking about a real political situation, and all people in the comments talk about is how people are black...
Yeah they do the same shit against Muslims too
8:46 she just dissed the country my parents were born
oh shit noo really? That is something to be concerned about! And here I was feeling sorry for all those people and animals who were starving and scared for their life, I should be feeling sorry for your mum
They were better off with Sudan!
wow they fuked that cow up
cool
What happened to his face
Why the fuck does vice always upload parts of a video and never the who le fucking thing
Sadly I'm expecting to see a rise in poaching in sudan now....
This sucks! Probably going to send many species to near extinction
10/10
How does he get a job at a costco in seattle with those crazy markings on his face?
Anyone here too cuz of Fayde ?
I don't understand. A lot of South Sudanese are muslim, so why do the northern Sudanese want them out of their country when they are muslim as well?

A country doesnt work without a goverment
Whats that on the "lost boys" face? Its like random bumps around his mouth,

It IS a hard and brutal place and that's an intrinsic quality. Also, are you sure he didn't say Arab Muslim north vs. Christian south?
these comments are disturbing
Prophet Isaiah's prophecy on Sudan is being fulfilled. The prophecy says "God will punish Sudan"
Why,Qur'an or Bible?
the immaturity in these comments... wow. People who are racist aren't comfortable with themselves.
Is That a Tattoo in their Face ?
democracy strikes again. By the way, why not just federalize the country like Switzerland? Seems to me to be the solution to Africa's problems with so many tribes in one country
Thats what John Garang had planned
poor cow
I haven't even looked at the comments yet but there's obviously gonna be a racist troll....
[comment containing a radical opinion]
Please no more racist comments.
G
The problem is that the country is lead by the S.S. XD
"Waat? Waat aint no country I ever heard of. Do they speak english in Waat?"
no. they speak Arabic in Waat.
And it is a city, not a country, thank you very much Sam Jackson
