A touch of normality | The Wider Image

"They were helping each other out, laughing as they practiced." Andreea Campeanu, Reuters Photographer I first heard about kickboxing in Juba over a year ago, long before fighting broke out in South Sudan that has so far killed over 10,000 people.The kickboxing team had members from different tribes as well as two South Sudanese girls and two Italian girls who were training with them. There were about 20 of them altogether.As the sun started going down, I said good-bye and they invited me to come again. I might do it. Its great to photograph something that, even though its about a kind of fighting, has nothing to do with war.
