The people in the Sudan understand horror, Jack Rice says
On location in the South Sudan, in a very isolated place called Majom Kor, Jack Rice says that people continue to stream into the area. Wave after wave crushes in, he says, and they are afraid of another attack by the Janjaweed. He says he asked over 200 people how many had lost a member of their family in the war, and says that over half of them raised their hands. Almost half of them also raised their hands when he asked them if they'd ever been enslaved. When we talk about horror, he says, these people understand it in ways that we rarely see almost any place in the world. (1:24)
