Children laugh in a market in Kowach village in Canal Pigi county, Jonglei State, South Sudan Friday, May 5, 2023. In 18 months the country is due to hold presidential elections, the culmination of a peace agreement signed nearly five years ago, and while large scale clashes have subsided, violence in parts of the country persists, with more people killed last year than the one prior.
