Images of war are drawn on the wall of an abandoned health centre in southern Sudan, months before the region gained independence as the new country of South Sudan. Instability has continued on both sides of the border, with recent clashes in the disputed area of Abyei and fighting in Sudan’s Blue Nile State. Children in both countries remain at risk, with high rates of under-five mortality, low primary school enrolment and insufficient immunization coverage.
