Southern Sudan is beginning to rehabilitate after two decades of brutal civil war.  Part of this process is the repatriation of the millions of refugees, who are finally coming home.  However, their homes and land from before the war have since been occupied by squatters who fled violence in other parts of the country.  These squatters, like the Moru tribe, have been settled since the 1980's in the southern capital , Juba, and now that the original land-owners are returning, a scarcity of land due to inflation and massive landmining has left them with few options.
