Thank you for watching.
*South Sudan has been on my list for a long time.* It has always intrigued me and made me want to see what it is like on the ground due to the recent history. I managed to get access to some areas of South Sudan that have rarely been covered. This is going to be an interesting trip to say the least. Thank you for joining me. I am curious, how familiar are you with South Sudan, the world's newest country, and its recent past? Let me know below and thanks for watching. Nick 🇸🇸
you connected with the wrong people in SA, you saw nothing of it as a result. they just scared you off because of their own stupid unrealistic fears.
So your Haiti trip is over after six episodes? Looking foward to watching the videos of this unknown country of South Sudan.
I love your videos and I travel abroad for 4 months every year average. However I'm not going anywhere where you're going. And I understand better than most the risk that you're taking. And I worry about you and you might be going a little too far especially in the last Haitian video now you're in Sudan. I will enjoy your videos but be careful brother
Dude, I bet your adrenaline is pumping 10x more than the average person. At least you're getting paid properly for your efforts.
...no clue of what is the situation like in South Sudan, looking forward to watching your upcoming videos.
Take care and stay safe, mate!
This is not a vlog anymore.
It is professional and independent journalism.
We need more of that.
The quality is beyond great.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much.
But he consumes MSM.
@@jamesharris9816 not everyone can be as illuminated as you.
he works for the UN
@@rovvt1284 Ah, if that is true it all makes sense.
Man from being a travel vlogger you have gone full on into photo/video journalism, I have so much respect for your work! Well done and keep safe!
Thank you very much mate!
That sums it up well
My favorite channel without doubt
no more haiti videos??
thank you 🙏🏼
@@kingkong-zs5cb he put 3 up, did you not see the last one
Props to this tour guide 👏. Answered all his questions with kindness and courtesy.
He approached a breastfeeding woman with a camera and didn't even take a hint when her husband got close to him. Then took his camera all inside their house. This guy is disrespectful and lacks emotional intelligence (empathy). He will do anything for attention and people like you should not validate him or commend him. This is not journalism in any way, shape or form. This guy would never even think about doing something like this in a western country like the United States or the U. K.
If we see a scene like this, RIGHT AWAY, our impression is THE ENTIRE COUNTRY LOOKS LIKE THIS. ( we all tend to) Wrong. It may be so many communities look like this but there's just as many that looks fine. We are all judgmental. We judge anyone and any place from our first impression. For a person to be judged, we need to live with that person and for us to know how a place is, we need to see and experience its entirety for a reasonable period of time. Especially for us who live in the rich part of the western world, we tend to paint a country based on the first color we see it is. We forget that people from poor countries also have pride and honor. They did not choose to be born in a poor country. Did we? in the west? where from the get go, the moment we turn the working age, we don't really struggle finding jobs and once we did, it is the start of our freedom: TO BUY WHAT WE WANT AND ENJOY LIFE. It's not the case for those born in extremely poor countries. It would be nice if we look at poor nationalities the same way we look at ourselves.
Nick, I can't thank you enough. I'm a South Sudanese born and raised entirely within. I've been seeing this video and one other for a while now I can't help but drop tears, I couldn't comment either but today I got the energy to. There's no life there only survival, every hour you spend every morning you wake is a true benediction whether or not you believe in God in that situation I promise you would! No hope! I'm currently out of the country but every time with every heartbeat I think about and pray for family and friends. A very rich country with death at her door, extremely rich families with silent majority. GOD BLESS SOUTH SUDAN

Yeah I agree, you don't see anything like this on mainstream TV. Good job 👍
sure,only human common sense in this channel .remind us of human nature
Just found this channel and completely agree!
This is the saddest thing I've seen. These poor kids just living on the street and on drugs and glue...just heartbreaking. Thanks for bringing awareness to the situation.

His guide, who was going around with him, I like that guys energy. I love when he answers. “exactly, exactly… Exactly” he was good vibes.
My heart goes out to the young man who is alone in the city without his family. In his eyes is the same pain I see in my own brother as he also is struggling with life. Breaks my heart and keeps me up at night. I wish I could see joy, and let that be my hope.
What’s wrong with your brother? I’m praying he can get through it man
The guy with the bluish shirt with designs right? So much pain I could feel it. Poor guy
Send him som money then
@@KWCMNY
its not always money one needs, that is why you have the saying,.. ''give one a fish and you feed him for the day teach one to fish and you feed him for life time
he talked about his parents selling the cows, so that would be a step forward to help get atleast one cow and a safe and proper place for the cow to graze
worthy is the lamb and the one seated on the throne Revelation 5:14
;;;;;;;;;; 2 Esdras2: 31-100 ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Fish all you want but if there are no fish in the pond the result is the same weither one knows how to fish or not! Ever thought about that? Therefore, if you are catching, SHARE YOUR POND!
His guide was such a wonderful man and was excellent at explaining the culture.
The guide was truly amazing
And where exactly was the culture? All I saw was self induced poverty because of low intelligence. And to think jewish NGO's pump Europe full of these animals day in and day out. May God help us
100%
His guide most probably is some sort of politician...he just have that look and the "words" skills to make you believe something he wants you to believe
@Oscar im sorry that you got offended.also im aware my english is quite poor.that was just an honest opinion based on what I see...I dont know you so I might be very wrong,its not the first time or the last...peace and wish well to all the people
I rarely comment on videos, however, your take on South Sudan is so well presented and genuine that I can’t say anything less than amazing work. It’s a very tragic setting, but you portray it objectively with respect for the locals, well done.
This is not just a regular TH-cam video, this is legit journalism! Apart from the sadness of the topic, your content just speaks quality from all angles. Keep safe!
Yes the main news channels WILL NOT touch this reality as it shows the real Africa and not Bob Geldof's viewpoint although by now he has probably seen sense, (hopefully)

Makes Detroit look good.
My dad is from South Sudan the Nuer tribe, he is a lost boy. He walked 6 months to Uganda, just to escape the war, he left his family at the age of 14 and joined the army at 15, spent some years in Ethiopia and Uganda before coming to the US in 2001 at 18. He wants to go back though, even though its still dangerous. He misses his home
Its not dangerous

The US is the reason South Sudan is in the position in the first place. Be gone.
You have gone from vlogging to investigative journalism of the highest quality, you put news channels to shame. Keep up the good work and stay safe!

These videos really show the cultural differences between places that you’d never see from the bougie travel bloggers who just do touristy stuff in places everyone else visits. Seeing the experiences for the bulk of the world that lives in bare survival is a service.
Agreed. Too much coconuts from street vendors and sugar cane juice it’s boring
My heart breaks for the three young men that left their families. You can see their souls through their eyes and they are lost.
heartbreaking
deep
Sad!
Drugged out of their brains more like
shit more than that. They're like living zombies
You go from Haiti to South Sudan?! Unbelievable. You go to the extremes to get the stories of these people into the world, which is inspiring and incredible. Thank you so much!
You have to be creative as a youtuber or twitch streamer, he earns money from going to such places because it gets more views and everybody is curious about those countries like Afghanistan, South Sudan, Haiti, Yemen etc. western media doesn't show anything about them and if they do its just negative.
i'd say calling them "people" is going to the extreme
@@joshjones718 you’re superior but can’t see they are humans just like you?
Comedy
Somehow this feels so much better then Haiti I would have never expected that that this place would feel 100 times safer in the conditions they are at! Amazing to see these extremes tnx for the amazing video’s you have me hooked!
@@joshjones718 yeah what do you mean by that?
This man is a class act. Thanks for your hard work Nick! The world needs to see what really goes on. I enjoy your videos. Stay safe.
I've spent a whole year in Wau, South Sudan and it was the most exciting, beautiful, challenging and life changing experience in my life. I dedicated my time to street boys, trying to show them there is somebody who cares. Thank u for your documentary, it brought back so many memories. God bless South Sudan ❤
My man just went from Haiti to South Sudan as his next travel destination. You truly have balls of steel. Kudos to you
Much love Emil!
⚠️ 🇺🇸🇮🇱Look into who’s sending arms (to multiple sides in the South Sudanese civil conflicts) into South Sudan and you’ll also find who’s profiting from the instability. South Sudan has tons of oil, so it’s in the interest of foreign oil companies to keep the region weak/ divided/ UNABLE TO NEGOTIATE HIGHER ROYALTY PAYMENTS on the resources extracted by these foreign companies.
Courageous of you to visit this very troubled country, thanks for bringing their lives into our homes ❤️
Thank you for joining me :)

Wow, just wow, the intersection of some of my favorite topics, travel and retro games. What a great video thanks for the awesome content and he was great
Thank you bro. I had no idea. People like you are so vital spreading awareness about places like this. God bless the people of South Sudan🙏🏻
I thought we weren't going to see another upload for another month or so. The GOAT journalist is back 🙌🏽 God bless you on your travels, Nick. 💪🏽💯
Haha thank you mate, South Sudan awaits.
I thought the same...what a pleasant surprise to see nick again!
My sentiment too mate, amazed so soon after a place like Haiti, Nick is here in South Sudan. Eye opening. Makes one feel insignificant in what we do in our day to day lives when you see this.
I worked in South Sudan in 2007-08 in Malakal. It's really interesting for me to see Juba 15 years later. It's hard to believe the place could've gone backwards, but it has. So sad for the people of South Sudan who have already gone through so much. Thanks for showing this part of the world that always gets forgotten.
I met an aid worker returning to South Sudan a few years ago, he looked so dejected and mentioned the sheer cost of travel in the country (cost of petrol for helicopters) really hampered how far the agency could reach those more in the provinces outside of the capital. Met him a few weeks after they had declared their independence, can't imagine what it must be like now.
The harsh truth is that there is nothing you can do for these people, this is the way they've always been and always will be.
@@freedomisslavery6840 i want to disagree with you, but when aid workers suffer from constant attacks its hard to see how anyone can help. I dont see anything improving for them sadly without a massive intervention
@@freedomisslavery6840 Leftist ideology always devastates everything it touches.
Same as SOMALIA.
Hi Nick. Since discovering your channel this morning I've been watching them back to back. South Sudan is another place I have been very interested in, though I'm white and never been to Africa. I think my traveling days are over so I armchair travel. My husband and I support a group of indigenous-led Christian orphanages and hospitals/clinics in S. Sudan, and have done so for years. It does have roots in the USA, but it is mainly indigenous nowadays. Over the years it has grown from one man teaching orphan children under a tree right after the war that separated S. Sudan from Sudan. My heart goes out to the people of S. Sudan, to those caught in the web of poverty and living on/in the streets. And to those who try so hard to scratch a living on a rock, so to speak. And many kudos to you for braving the possible dangers of going to places like this to let us see just a glimpse of our fellow humans who suffer.
Excellent piece of journalism, thank you
Nick, you're an incredible journalist, storyteller, and most of all, an incredible human being. Thanks for all the risks you're taking to bring us these series. Our problems all of a sudden seem so small.
Thanks so much for your generosity, really appreciate your words. Thank you, Bashir!
Yes, you risk your life in these dangerous places for these videos, your videos are very interesting to watch and it makes me feel grateful that I live here in Canada 🇨🇦

From Haiti to South Sudan: lawless countries, corrupt, extreme poverty. Despite all these hardships, people still try to smile and carry on. That's life. Thanks, Nick, for this video.

@@kongkongreacts It's a general observation and not meant to hurt anyone.

@@IndigoTraveller it's crazy that so much can be tightly mixed and condensed into just under a half hour. Hard to see those street kids, just a total absence of any hope on their faces. I know it's gonna get heavy
And after South Sudan, how about Myanmar's border regions ?
You are really onto something here with this channel this is astonishing work
Thank you for showing us so many perspectives from different countries all over the world. Travelling to a country like this and documenting your journey helps me to understand that the world has so many different realities outside my safe little bubble.
Nick, you've turned a travel channel into a slice-of-life window into the lives of different people just trying to make it in this world. Stay safe out there!

@@gg.youlubeatube6249 so the missing link is poverty
@@maazi.naaniya9158 Study more, so you sound less ridiculous.
@@gg.youlubeatube6249 no you were trying to say a racist joke I'm sure. Poor areas tend to be more violent. Now I would say maybe there culture in South Sudan is not adapted to modern life. Most people there were nomadic cowherds. So they did not emphasize permanency. I don't even know exactly what they are fighting over. "Ethnic conflicts" is too simple. Ukraine vs Russia is an ethnic conflict, but we are given a background and possible reasons for it. There are goals alleged. But with this people are shown fighting just to fight. We see the obvious poverty, yet we also see the modern military equipment. How did they purchase the arms they are using? Did they get a loan? If so who gave such a piss poor looking country a loan? It doesn't make sense but again, you wanted to be a racist butt uckuf so you said the missing link as in the common ancestor of humans and other apes an extinct creature by the way is these people.
Nick, from the bottom of my heart and on behalf of millions, thank you for giving each and every person from these poor countries an outlet to let the rest of the world know how bloody hard it is to live in such conditions. You are a true hero, and words cannot describe how grateful I am to you for this. Stay safe man!
Thank you Adam. Much love!
lol its hard to live in those conditions? they create those conditions. you have to get western standards out of your mind. this is their standard; we are not the same. it has nothing to do with "wealth". it has everything to do with the inhabitants of the country. if you dont believe me look at any city whose demographic has changed from a majority "western" population to darker "social constructs"(races). crime, filth, graffiti, degeneracy all comes with it. you can take the lion out of the jungle but you cant take the jungle out of the lion. import enough of 3rd world people, become 3rd world. ask the million+ swedish girls how they enjoy their diversity. been to detroit lately? how about atlanta? you know who those "aid workers" are? theyre western. so who will be giving aid to them when they are overrun with what is essentially a dystopian "idiocracy"? nobody. you cant fix what isnt broken. these people arent broken, they are different. a leopard cant change its spots. trying to throw money at them to bring them to the standard of western civilization is like throwing money at dogs and expecting that with enough money it'll walk on 2 legs, speak english and learn calculus. they have a biological capacity for civilization. THAT is what youre seeing. life is hard for a badger too; its not because its poor.
The citizens made it "bloody hard" THEMSELVES. No sympathy here!

Nick, thank you for opening our minds to this place of all places in South Sudan❤ 👍
Thank you very much for such an amazing video. You made me travel to a place where I would never be able to experience first hand. Your video benefited me a lot with my research. Cheers, mate.
Nick this is my country, I am originally from South Sudan and speak a language that you highlighted in the video. Now I currently reside in Boston, Mass and have been here for 15 years, thank you for highlighting my beautiful people and their plight to survival.
Boston represent
i wonder what was ur parents staus in the country, and how does one come from south sudan to the us? mean visa and stuff..all the best
Do you have a Boston accent?
How can you stand living in such a racist country?
This guy deserves no thanks. I know there are problems in SS, but still there is a good side of the country. It can't be all bad as he depicts it
I clicked on this video kind of randomly for no particular reason. You have some extraordinary investigative journalism skills and produce factual content that would put a lot of traditional news media to shame. This was unbelievably incredible and a fantastic insight into the lives of the South Sudanese. So respectful as well.
Real journalists are the ones, you don´t see on TV.
Sad but a natural result
There is no real journalism anymore in this country. Universities no longer teach the basic tenants of objective journalism. Colleges teach the methods of propaganda, suggestion and activism. At least if it were both sides of the political and social spectrum argued Americans wouldn't be the delusional idiots we are now.
Vice and other major outlets have done stuff like this for years. What he’s doing is great, but acting like “traditional news media” doesn’t do this is simply a lack of awareness.
That's not Juba. Watch Wode video & see the difference. This guy should have been thrown into the Nile.
An UNBELIEVABLE video!!
this is amazing journalism. i was born and raised in south Sudan, i got my citizenship 7 years ago through a hb1 visa. I've been living in America for a decade and i have to say that if you were born in the US count your blessings. literally most of the world lives on 2 dollars a day. the average American homeless person/panhandler in America makes 15/hr with resources at every corner to help them. I came from another country dirt poor living in a makeshift house studying torn computer science books by candlelight, then walking 10 miles every other day to use a computer to practice programming. if you live in the US and still live in poverty its your fault but your own.
Thank you for the work you do and the risks you take to do it. Really incredible to see so much hardship. Can't imagine what it's like to be there "live." Really makes me wonder about the madness of the West, our disconnection from the plight of so much of the world and our many misplaced priorities. Hope & pray for the best for the people of South Sudan. Stay safe & keep up the excellent reporting.
As a South Sudanese youth, it's so devastating seeing my fellow youngsters living in a dark world that has been taken away from them by corrupt government officials.
Thanks for covering these clips Nick may God bless you for your bravery and welcome to South Sudan 🇸🇸.
One love 💯👐🇸🇸🇸🇸🇸🇸
Thank you Bida, love to SS!

I watch all of your videos but the more I see the more I’m left with a feeling of deep sadness, the eyes of that street boy will stay with me for weeks (then comes another video), I can’t imagine the withdraw from visiting this places. I would not be able to do what you do, I’m too softhearted, emphatic and don’t let go of memories. Thank you so much Nick! Cheers from Honduras.

I quite liked the montage beginning at minute two, and the montages generally were fun. Another notable feature is the carefully selected shots of people at emotional moments when their intense awareness of his being an outsider really comes out in hard faces.

I thought he already visited Uganda?
@@Tata-bd9nx He went to Uganda but they FORCE HIM TO DANCE the BAMBA so he had to leave Uganda by boat my friendd!!! 😔
@@zay0_n4ra11 Which video is that?🤔
We have a lot of Ugandans here in Egypt, they all have melanin loss though, is it genetic there?
Great vid. So brave of you. Hope things get better there, so hard for people.
Thanks for sharing your adventure!
I think that’s what you are doing is beneficial to mankind as a whole. Everyone needs to see places such as these. We tend to get caught up in the “important” news, but miss the suffering in many other locations on our planet. I give you high props for sticking your neck out in these dangerous locations to illustrate what folks go through. We might never be able to experience seeing these places without your good work. Great job! Be safe!
Yeah I feel like people from US and Europe often dont realize how good we have it. At the same time we can only have it this good because of exploiting countries and keeping them poor for cheap man power and resources, you are either born in lucky 20% or work to keep them rich.
@@Achtolz That's kinda an over simplistic take on the situation. Also, it's most certainly not just western countries that are taking advantage of Africa. You can clearly see there are major issues in this particular country that are not caused by cheap/slave labour.
This is what these people create. Make All Countries Great, each in their own positive ways. These people have a lot of improvement to make with their society, with their country. They should stay there and create goodness, not squalor.
They haven't evolved since the dawn of time. Africans infighting can never be "news" because it's simply a fact of life that one can always infer. Just as the wind blows and water is wet, Africa will never ascend from barbarism.
They suffer, but what do they produce worth exchanging for a better life?
Nothing.
They have a resource rich country, but they don't produce anything of note with it.
His guide is so well spoken and knowledgeable
Good video. Excellent work. Compliments to the host of the show. Also, the guide is quite efficient and precise in his comments.
Your guide was a true gentleman, definition of calm.
I’m so excited you are in South Sudan. A friend of mine was an aid worker there from 2014-2016 and was challenged there. I have had many students from the Sudan; I’m really pleased to get a view into South Sudan through your lens and experience. Thank you, Nick. After this and Haiti, I hope you take a bit of a break for your mental health. It’s not easy to continually be a part of challenging places without a break. 💖 Take care, friend.
Interesting, thanks for sharing Karin. Thank you for your words also. Much love!
⚠️⚠️ 🇺🇸🇮🇱Look into who’s sending arms (to multiple sides in the South Sudanese civil conflicts) into South Sudan and you’ll also find who’s profiting from the instability. South Sudan has tons of oil, so it’s in the interest of foreign oil companies to keep the region weak/ divided/ UNABLE TO NEGOTIATE HIGHER ROYALTY PAYMENTS on the resources extracted by these foreign companies.
@@MS-tc2fs Sorry but the USA does not sell the type of guns there military uses.
@@MS-tc2fs and unable to get a refinery built and functioning. This way they export crude and then have to buy back the refined gasoline. A big time loss.
I feel so bad for those kids, to have given up hope at such a young age is heartbreaking
Me too. It's so heartbreaking.
Yeah I was thinking the same 😔 So sad
It's terrible...
So eye opening, thank you so much for sharing😊
Excellent editing…a really powerful piece
11:00 Honestly heart breaking. The look of despair on those boys faces is beyond words 😢
You know what could help them? A fucking job .
@@SteliosE92 chill
Most people don't know how bad it can get in America
@@SteliosE92 nobody wants to acknowledge it because it makes eugenics seem like the good guy and it’s “dangerous” thinking… but when the shoe fits, many of these people… millions and millions in fact, would be more useful to the world as compost. Leaving them existing so far behind with no chance of catching up at all is cruel.
@@SteliosE92 so. No. A job wouldn’t help. Their limitedminds are a problem of their genealogy. No amount of justice can save them from their fate.
That scene of you down at the Nile riverside restaurant overlooking the boat wreck perfectly symbolises South Sudan, a beautiful tropical paradise helplessly struggling to stay afloat.
A shithole
Beautiful paradise? More like a toxic waste dump
An enclaved territory in the dark heart of Africa- hopeless....
@@lioneldemun6033 why is South Sudan in this state in the first place? Take your racism somewhere else, we’re not interested.
All this guy show is negative things in africa,white propaganda campaign
Even the cover photo for the vide he shows the drunkard and drug addict in a country of millions
He gives the people ni advise ,he offers no help ,just looking for shockvalue
I ADVISE ALL VIEWERS, PRACTICE CHARITY ,JUST AS PASTORS TELL YOU TO PAY TITHES AND OFFERING SO THEY CAN GET RICH
A MAN ASKED RABBI YAHSHUA, MASTER WHAT GOOD THING MUST I DO TO GAIN SALVATION?
HE TOLD HIM TO KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS

That was amazing in depth reporting. 😊
Nice work nick!
Respect dude.... Your courage, trust and openness to others is astonishing.
Why are you praising his courage and trust? These people are the same as us (whites). Why are you racist?
@@CORZER0 bro 💀 statistically these people aren't like Europeans
@@CORZER0 what a stupid comment. Language, race, culture, religion, economic status… all of these are MAJOR barriers to human communication and understanding. There’s no shame in acknowledging that it is difficult to make a connection or communicate with someone from a different background, and recognizing the courage someone has to push past these barriers
11:20 anthropologist can rejoice, the miissing link has been found.
@@CORZER0 these people have wayyyy harder lives then us whites lol. That’s why in America you should be blessed or any other western country.
I applaud Nick for casually living the "Out of the frying pan and into the fire" lifestyle
Hahaha thanks
For sure I would be heading home for a vacation lol
How does he pay for all this?
@Black Lesbian Poet it’s called being smart. Plenty of successful black TH-camrs exist.
@@charlierobles316 Sponsors, ad revenue, Patreon...you're familiar with how TH-cam works, right?
Thank you for making this video!!
Heartbreaking. And kudos to Indigo Traveller for having enormous stones.
Your videos are incredible. Most travel vlogs on YT is "We got into this super fancy Van and drove through Australia " While you give a glance to a side of life most of us never seen. Real people in real struggles. Kudos!! Ton of respect! Keep it up!
Read the comments all that guy is doing is making money by showing peoples misery
@@lovesallanimals9948 "Read the comments" lol. Think for yourself, maybe?
@@motttta i do and you support this guy fir doing nothing LOL
I like to thank you guys for taking those pictures and showed uswhat it's like there
Chief, people are born to do different things in life. It's simple.
Being from the US your videos really give me a perspective on how our little problems don’t really matter in the grand scheme. Will always watch your videos keep it up you’re great.
Thank you Braedon!
Our foreign policies towards those distant lands and some much close to us like Haiti ensure we have small problems and theirs are insurmountable.
@@bobbykibe8693 right it’s all the fault of the US. They have no culpability. 😂
I’m from the US too. These Haiti and South Sudan and Venezuela etc stories are unbelievable! I just started reading “New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man” by John Perkins. That must explain some of what Nick is seeing.
The problems in the US are caused by people like this. Tell the truth.
Very intriguing video! Thanks for sharing there stories.
Excellent. Thank you for your hard work. Africa deserves the best.
My family lived with a Sudanese refugee from 2006 to 2008, in Australia. I have so many memories of him and I think of him all the time... I never thought I would be able to see any part of Sudan. Thank you for doing what you do.
This is what happens to Africans when Arabs, and Europeans invade your country and mess with the politics. If the had just left these people alone and nit come to exploit Africa. GLUE SNIFFING IS NOT AFRICAN, IT'S EUROPEAN AND THEIR COUSINS ACROSS THE ATLANTIC.
Well anyone with a brain and common sense knows that the top socioscientists of the world have figured out that this dying, over heating, massively polluted, resource ravaged, drought ridden, fire and storm infested planet cannot sustain more then 10 billion people at the most and with over 25 million already starving every year and around 1.8 million dying from drinking polluted water and the almost 1 billion living in slums and the over 750 million homeless and all the wars being waged. You would have to be a compete idiot to lay down with a women and breed like flies and bring innocent life into you pathetic existence. Now I see why war and being a soldier is the number one money maker and occupation the world has to offer. The human race is doomed. Except for the rich and super rich ruling elite who have lavish under ground cities to run to (servants included) when shit hits the fan. And ride out the rest of their lives in style.
Im watching out of the window and half Afrika runs down there…. I got enough from Rapefugees
Thanks for visiting our country mate.
I've been enjoying your videos for a while now and I didn't expect that you would visit my country 🇸🇸 this soon. I wish you all the best in your next adventures and hopefully get to show the world some positive part of South Sudan because all the western media tend focus on just negative side of 🇸🇸. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
The mislead the people living in other countries by showing footage of only poverty and the bushes of Africa yet there is so much development, educated people, developed fisrt world cities and technology and we live far from the wildlife. Yesterday there was a question of how we live near lions…ha ha ha! So many people believe we live in the jungles.
Is there any positive side?
@@viewerssejati8940 This is a stupid question
One day, I will visit as well 😊
@@viewerssejati8940
I don't know what you're trying to say but YES, just like any other country, there's both the negative and the positive side.
In one word
Fascinating!
I feel like I know nothing about the world by watching these videos. Thank you for creating this work. It reminds of what what Anthony Bourdain used to do. I hope you get an actual spot on television for your work to help us know what else is out there in the world.
This is incredible. Just came across your channel and can't wait to binge watch it this weekend. Even I as a Kenyan in East Africa have never imagined it to be this hard in South Sudan. Thank you for bringing the world to our devices.
Kenya has it's drug street boys too. Anywhere the west goes, this follows
The "System" prioritize Ukraine 😡😡😡
It annoys me they come to UK and we begrudge giving them a better life or a house but when you see there own country yo must feel we owe them more dignity than that
You don’t owe them anything. Nobody made them have a civil war. They have to repair their own country.
@@clairejones1113 Perhaps you need to do an UNBIASED research on the "who invade who first" and after that classified them as a "Second Class Citizens" in their own country. There is any " lost Love" for Western governments EXCEPT creating the typical "Divide and Conquer" techniques.
Anything else left out 🤔🤔🤔 !!?
Love to these people. May their difficulties lessen quickly.
Whoaaaaa South Sudan!
Can't wait to dive in.
Best freaking channel ever! Thank you for the opportunity you give us to visit places most of us would never really have another way of travelling to.
I'm learning more from you than I have from years of geography and social studies. #1 top explorer!🎖️
Thank you Nick ❤️
Way too kind, thank you so much!
@@IndigoTraveller ❤️
@@MrTheLionKing1986 he should team up with the "Geography Now' guy .
This was a tough one to watch. I'm from South Africa and it's so easy to turn a blind eye to what's happening in fellow African countries... Thank you for making us aware of the situations in so many countries, Nick.
Theres nothing anyone can do honestly.
No, us Africans are doing something about it some have died trying to liberate their country it all depends on a new generation. It's a slow processs. not a quick fix
@@bmoney3837 i wish you the best
@@jamespaul6315 White people could help the countries they absolutely diseased, corrupted and otherwise OBLITERATED. But that's not an option because they're white people. A "fellow African" coming from a white guy who has no plans on helping build up a country his people destroyed is some of the craziest shit ever.
@@letsgetdoing lol bruh they are destroying themselves . White people dont even seem to exist there. Its not a race issue. Nice try though.
What some people have to live through day to day is mind blowing to see at times.
Very well done sir, great documentary, it's so sad that this kind of suffering exists in this day and age.
Nick, you aren't just vlogging, you're reporting! You are showing us the realities of failed states around the world. Be safe my friend, be safe!
Thank you Kenneth
so true. its a documentary
It's amazing how easily people now are excited , all he's doing his filming what's going on around him he's not a journalist
He'll be doing the states in 20 years.
@@jwil4709 Try 5 lol
Your channel has become a really unique way to get an insight into what everyday reality looks like for people in parts of the "developing world". Your videos in Haiti, Nigeria & now South Sudan are an eye opener.
Nigeria isn’t just those places he went to Nigeria has 36 state he was in Lagos where the people need help same with other places he went to in Nigeria 😊
Unique ? I think you are getting a bit excited there lots of people do this

Nick great work ... I appreciate you from here 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
This is heartbreaking, I recently did an essay on the current status of South Sudan and there is so much here that is NEVER stated in the media. Especially the drug use. Thank you for bringing all of this information to light.
The beginning of another compelling series! I've contacted the *Webby Awards* and nominated Nick for a Webby because I believe that he deserves one!
By the way...for those wondering, the bottle marked *Oxytetra* at the *24:34* mark is an antibiotic for the livestock, called *Tetracycline.*
Great idea. Well done. I'd nominate him for a Pulitzer, but he is not American and therefore does not qualify. But whatever high-end journalism awards exist in this world, we need to nominate Nick for all of them.
@@EchoBravo370
Indeed! His professionalism is outstanding.
I’m surprised (impressed) how well they speak English. 😮
If anyone else believes that Nick deserves a Webby, contact them and submit your own nomination for him. I imagine that a greater number of submissions will get more attention!

I was there in 2012, south of Juba, on a humanitarian mission. The whole experience was an assault on the senses and emotions. Yet, the people we engaged with were (mostly) amazing and welcoming. You'd expect a culture shock by going to such a place, but the culture shock for me was returning to the states. May God bless South Sudan.

@denis murimi Look up e3 Partners.
Did you experience culture shock
Hopefully you weren't down there spreading the nonsense of religion. Which basically teaches people how to hate their neighbors if they are different. Especially if they are gay.
Informative. It's good to see people shone in the light of a good journalist. I've learned a lot about the new nation. May G~d bless South Sudan.
Massive work Indigo. Thank you for the hard work and taking the risks to remind us how the world really is, specially for those who live in the unreal, entitled and accomodished western world like me. Keep it up💪
You do an amazing job of showing places and people that none of us would otherwise be exposed to. I feel so sorry for those poor kids on the street. Keep up the amazing work
“I am not a journalist” yet you continue the make the most incredible documentary journalism pieces I’ve ever seen
Thank you for sharing South Sudan's story and of the street boys too xx
great and interesting video mate, thank you
What I admire about you Nick is that you affirm the dignity of everyone you interview just by hearing their stories. And everybody needs to tell their story.
Thank you Michael.
Beautiful insight and so true.
Nick what are you are doing is opening our eyes to parts of the world that mainstream media doesn't talk about. Thank you and keep up the amazing work.
