A couple more pictures, taken from a report on the "Unity Support Fund", a fund set up to make unity between north and south Sudan attractive before the referendum in 2011 when southerners will have the choice of unity or secession. Unity certainly hasn't been made attractive, but anything that gets a railway line repaired can't be all bad!

From the writing on the banners these black and white photos appear to have been taken at Aweil, which is en route from Babanusa to Wau.
