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.
