In 1983, six Irish missionaries joined Bishop Paride Taban in Sudan, working alongside local people. Civil war soon forced them into a life of displacement and danger, facing bombings, ambushes, kidnappings and armed groups. When fragile peace returned in 2003, Paride Taban and his staff (priests, sisters, lay missionaries, medical personnel and many others) choose the latter: the sick who need treatment, and the youth who see their future falling apart due to corruption, forced marriage and a new civil war.
