MALAKAL, SOUTH SUDAN:

Troops in the Sudanese People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) reportedly recaptured Malakal, the capital of Upper Nile and one of the bloodiest battlegrounds in South Sudan, from rebel forces on March 19, 2014. Here, a soldier smokes as he arrives with reinforcements at the United Nations Mission in the Republic of South Sudan (UNMISS) base in the city. Thousands have died and nearly a million have been displaced since December, when violence erupted between troops supporting President Salva Kiir and those supporting ex-Vice President Riek Machar.

Be one of the first

Help kick off the new era of In These Times! Without a media that brings people together and creates a written record of the struggles of workers, their voices will be fragmented and forgotten.

The mission of In These Times is to be that written record, and to guide and grow those movements.

We have a lot of work ahead of us, and that work starts today. Early support is the most valuable support, and that’s why we’re asking you to pitch in now. If you are excited for this new era of In These Times, please make a donation today.
