New Sudan in the South of Sudan was still 'peacefull' when we went there in juli 2005, but a week later John Garang died in a helicopter crash and the fighting started all over again. John Garang had the year before signed the peace agreement between the Muslim North and the Christian South of Sudan. At the time of his death he had only been the vice-president 
for three weeks.
We were therefore lucky that we came there in time, because a week later the trip with not have been safe.

DK: New Sudan i det sydlige Sudan var stadig forholdsvis fredeligt da vi besøgte det sidste sommer i 2005. En uge senere blev John Garang dræbt i en helikopter ulykke, hvilket startede voldelighederne igen. John Garang havde et år tidligere underskrevet fredsaftalen mellem den sydlige kristne del og den nordlige muslimske del af Sudan. Da Garang døde i slutningen af juli 2005 havde han kun været vice-præsident i tre uger.
Vi var derfor heldige at have taget turen på det tidspunkt vi gjorde, for en uge senere ville det have været for farligt at tage afsted.
