March 2013: A boy and girl collect water from large drums in Abyei, a town at the center of the contested Abyei region along the border between Sudan and South Sudan. Homes here were looted and burned in 2011 when soldiers and militias from Sudan swept through the a rea, chasing out more than 100,000 Dinka Ngok residents. A few thousand families have returned since northern combatants withdrew in 2012. (CNS photo / Paul Jeffrey)
