The years of the brutal civil war in Junub Sudan has resulted to over half a million loss of lives (500,000), according to the finding by London School Of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. According to the report, it was initially believed that over 50,000 people lost their lives but it is far worst that figure.

Mr Yusto Baba the YEI RIVER STATE Deputy Governor also was beaming with happiness and smiles were written all over his face and hope of uniting the country together and also the hope of restoring stability in YEI RIVER STATE was all written on his face.

YEI RIVER STATE used to be called the Small London because of the pace in which it was developing. It was very smart and clean, food was easily available and in abundance but since the civil war, it has become more of a ghost town.
