28 Jan 2010, South Sudan --- Fishing camp of Dinka people west of Kongor. They were catching fish as lakes in the Sudd slowly dried up (dry season), and preparing the meat of game that they had found/killed. Hunting is officially illegal in Southern Sudan, but this is a relatively new regulation, and not well known or respected. A freshly killed nile lechwe lies on a hippo hide out drying in the sun (they said they had found the hippo dead after it was wounded by another male hippo, which seemed credible considering the large 15 cm hole in the side of the hide). They were drying the hippo meat/fat in the sun, which they claimed was for family consumption. They claimed that the lechwe had been caught in fish nets. They claimed that the game meat was not for sale, but for familiy consumption. --- Image by © George Steinmetz/Corbis
