This book is the work of a long process, one that began even before I did my undergraduate studies, after first coming into contact with South Sudan then Southern Sudan in 2002. Nevertheless, it would not have come to fruition without the support and assistance of many people in South Sudan and the UK.

I am eternally indebted to the Catholic Diocese of Torit for opening up the interiors of South Sudan to me. This book would have been impossible to complete without that support. To the Sudd Institute your support and friendship has seen me this far. I am also grateful for the advice and guidance of Professor Edward Newman and Dr Alexander Beresford, without whom I doubt I would have completed this book.

To my family and friends, I dont even know where to begin. To friends, especially Abraham Awolich and Dr Henry Kippin, your friendship is invaluable. To my family, especially Iddah, Wakinas, Muriithi, Mwangi and Dan I love you and thank God every day for you.

Finally, I would like to thank my parents, Wambugu Muriithi and Wanjiru Wambugu. When I think of the sacrifices you made to put me through school, the journey from Eastleigh to this point has been a long one. I cant find words strong enough to express how I feel, so all Ill say is, thank you.
