Looking for anyone to talk to who is part of or related to the Ngok Dinka, if anyone is could you send me a message?

Hey r/SouthSudan, don't know how active this subreddit is but had a question to ask?

I read about this game called Adeir in the book Seed of South Sudan. Apparently it is played with a ball made from tree gum and sticks. It sounds similar to a game the Ancient Egyptians played and that is still played in Ethiopia and Eritrea, but I can't find any pictures or other descriptions of it. Anyone familiar with it?

Excerpt from the book where it is mentioned:

Hi there,

I'm writing a horror film about a pair of teenage South Sudanese refugees who get stranded in a remote and creepy seaside town in England.

I would love your help with a question about my research.

Sudan (North and South) has such a complex history, not least on all in the last 500 years.

My question is, knowing what teenagers are like, what would their knowledge be of Sudan's history, recent or ancient? One of them is 20 and one of them is 11, so how might they discuss the reasons they had had to leave home? Would they talk about specific leaders or specific movements?

I know that when I was a teenager my knowledge of English history was pretty naive and scarse. I'd rather be playing computer games and collecting football cards. So I'm intrigued by what I would know or bring up in a conversation as a South Sudan teenager.

Thank you so much for all your help!

Nick

South Sudan needs to put its act together and get ready for elections- this is the common thaught between US and United Nations. https://knowafrika.com/south-sudan-needs-to-take-2023-elections-seriously-un-security-council/

Hi! I'm transcribing an interview with someone from South Sudan and they used a word that sounds like Hiwadja, or something similar. The meaning was foreigner or something like that. Is this the right word or spelling?

hello south sudan am here

I've used many options and they all require a great deal of work to do

I recently traveled to South Sudan to visit my friend. When it was time to leave, I went to the Juba airport and went through immigration. I showed my passport and my COVID-19 test and answered some questions.

Then the immigration officer asked "Why didn't you pay your registration fee?" I said I paid for my visa and everything, but he insisted that it was a separate fee I had to pay when I entered the country by going to one of the government offices. He said that although I didn't pay it when I arrived, I could pay for it right now as I was departing the country for USD$50.

My friend was with me so I asked him for help because I didn't know if this was a real thing or not. The immigration officer got up and took my passport to another room, and I quickly realized that, real or not, I had to pay in order to get my passport back. Fortunately, I had the money in my pocket; I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have it.

Nothing I've read about traveling to South Sudan mentioned a "registration fee" and I heard mixed things from locals. Two said it was real, but one said it wasn't and that officers pretend it's real to extort money from foreigners.

So is a "registration fee" a real thing that foreigners have to pay upon arrival? And if so, where can I read about how to properly pay it upon arrival so that I don't get a repeat of this next time I come to South Sudan?

Hey y’all!

I’m doing a university project that collects information from countries all over the world to create an educational videogame Wario Ware style! The idea is to collect through many local subreddits around the word interesting information, facts, traditions or just fascinating stuff from your country. It really can be whatever! from history stuff, manners, toys to food dishes. Real cultural information that is deeper than typical trivia found on traveling and touristic websites.

All that info is going to be used to create the questions for the videogame quiz system! Hope it inspire you to let us know your culture and make the game richer. Many many thanks for your help! :)

I was going to do a redesign of your flag with a black Buffalo on the front over a triband with green, blue and yellow. Is the Buffalo a good choice or should I choose another animal?
