Tens of thousands of people are fleeing South Sudan after five days of fighting in Juba, the capital city. Many people are heading south towards Uganda, but the trip is considered extremely dangerous. The South Sudanese are fleeing fighting between forces loyal to President Salva Kiir and those who support First Vice President Riek Machar. Some of the people who have made it across the border are talking about their experiences. One young woman says she barely escaped before a bomb hit her home. Two of her relatives died. She hid for a while in the northern part of Juba before finding a bus and heading south. At military checkpoints, men in government uniforms asked for money and other bribes before letting the bus continue south. People gave away cell phones, laptop computers and even clothing. Edwin Taylor of Liberia made it through South Sudan as well.
