71 Six Men Wau Shilluk, a settlement site on the Nile 10 km north of the Malakal PoC Site 20–40 years old, Shilluk The six men came from a village south of Malakal, but they moved to Wau Shilluk when the fighting began in December 2013. They did not want to go to the Malakal PoC site as there is no freedom there and you cannot leave the base without being targeted. After four months they moved to Kwadok for safety as the SPLA-IO was trying to advance to the west side of the Nile River. Once the SPLA-IO retreated a couple months later, they returned to Wau Shilluk. The men took their wives to the Malakal PoC site in August 2015 due to a lack of food. They were surviving only on the leaves of the lalop tree and fish. They paid 50 SSP per person to a canoe operator to sneak them across the river at night. The UNMISS river battalion then escorted their families to the Malakal PoC site. Now it is only 30 SSP for a trip from Wau Shilluk to Malakal, but before it was much more dangerous and so it cost much more and could only be done in darkness. If the SPLA finds you, they can either take all your belongings or place a bullet in your stuff and accuse of you of being a soldier. The men send food and dried fish to their families in the PoC site through a relatives, and they call their wives to go meet them at the Nile River to pick it up. The men said they will leave their families in the PoC site until peace returns, but they are worried by the 28 state decree by President Kiir. Unless that decision is reversed, the men predict that there will be renewed fighting. If there is peace, they will return to their village, but if they hear there will be war they will first move the women and children in Wau Shilluk away and then the men will join Olony to fight for their land rights. People are expecting to return to where they are from when there is peace, including those from the east side of the Nile.
