Mary, her husband and their nine children live in a camp for displaced people at a U.N. military base in Juba, South Sudan. They have been there since civil war between President Salva Kiir and his rival Riek Machar began in 2013. The government wants them to go home but Mary - like Machar a member of the Nuer tribe - refuses. She tells Thomson Reuters Foundation why.
