Mayen Galuak, 44, has spent nearly a decade in a camp for the displaced in South Sudan's Juba. He entered the United Nations camp, just a few kilometres from his residence, in search of safety three days after conflict broke out in 2013. He has watched as South Sudan’s leaders forged peace deals and broke them; as militias carried out and denied ethnic massacres; and as conflict pushed parts of the country into famine.
