South Sudan 1

South Sudan

Learning Outcomes:

• Discover the impact of conflict on South Sudan and other parts of Africa
• Reflect on the recent history of South Sudan

Look at PowerPoint S8:  A Short History of South Sudan to understand some of the key events in recent years that have led to ongoing conflict within the country.

Talk with a buddy about how this makes you feel compared with how you live in New Zealand and share two key points below.

The comparison between my life in New Zealand is we are both Humans and we both are alive.

We both are living breathing humans.

Watch Video S8: Samuel from Jonglei and Video S14: South Sudan Crisis to hear how people escaped from conflict that came to their villages.

• Talk with a buddy, because these families have been displaced, what are some of the struggles that these families mention?

There is conflict everywhere they go and there is a very big food shortage everybody is fighting for there food and the have trouble finding good clean drinking water.

Activity 1

Research other examples of conflict within Africa. Find out which countries have experienced conflict in the past. Which countries are still feeling the effects of ongoing conflict? What are  some of the impacts on families and communities as a result of conflict. Share your findings using your own words in a short paragraph below.

Conflict is like if South Sudan and North Sudan were fighting

Conflicts is like when people are fighting with weapons and firearms and there are gunshots everywhere. Conflict occurs when like country's leader doesn’t like another leader so they declare a war and they start conflict. When conflict happens lots of families get scared and confused of why people want conflict. And because of conflict people have food and water shortage because people are to scared to even go outside.

Activity 2 - Impact of conflict

What do you think the impact of conflict has on children and their education in South Sudan?

They are scared of why there a fighting and it is hard for them to learn because they are scared of what is going on.

What long-term consequences might a lack of good education have on the children there?

Graffiti art encouraging peace and challenging conflict can be seen around Juba. Be inspired by the following street art in Juba and create your own artwork using Google Drawing to show the impact of conflict.

You may choose to design something similar that shows two extremes – the good (what is being encouraged) and the bad (the negative impacts).

Plan your ideas here

Key message I want to deliver:	That conflict will not do anything it will just tear people apart and innocent people are losing their lives.
Impacts I want to show:	To stop conflict so that the world can be a peaceful caring worlds.

South Sudan 2

South Sudan 2

Learning Outcomes:

• Recognise the impact of a drought and a famine on families and communities
• Describe what happened in South Sudan during the famine in 2017

Activity 1

Create a definition for drought and famine. What are the similarities between these two terms?  

Drought:A drought is when you have to many dry and hot days but no wet days and the ground starts to dry up too much and their water starts to dry and then they have nothing to drink and they could get really dehydrated.

Famine:Famine is when there is Food shortage and water shortage and the parents can’t feed their children.

Similarities: The similarities between a famine and a drought is the both end up in insufficient food supply and a water shortage.

Research: How many famines have been declared in the last decade?

Roughly 40 in the past decade.

Activity 2

Watch the following videos: South Sudan Famine  , South Sudan Food Crisis and view the powerpoint Surviving the Famine

Write a short paragraph where you discuss the connection between the conflict and the famine, and the situation of poverty for many in South Sudan. Which of these factors can be influenced by human decisions?

If the conflict keeps on going on like this everybody will be going into poverty and will not be able to for food or water and the conflict can put some peoples life at state because there will be a supply shortage of food and drink. Conflict could destroy peoples villages and homes so they might have to find somewhere safe to go and live where there is not as much conflict happening and there is clear water.

Watch Nandoor’s Fish . Write 2-3 sentences about the impact of both the conflict and the famine on Nandoor and her family.

It is difficult for her to feed her family She was forced to feed the whole village.

It took her and her 2 months to find safety away from the conflict.

They had to eat food and drink the water in the Jungle.

Activity 3

Even though we are almost 15, 000 kilometres away, talk with a buddy in ways that New Zealanders can help the people in South Sudan.                                   Meals ready to eat

We can send them fresh water bottles and send the MRE and some nice things so they can enjoy going outside.
