Khartoum/Abyei, Sudan - The crucifix worn by Jerome Ganago makes him quite rare in northern Sudan, where the majority of the population are Muslims.

On a sunny afternoon, Ganago, originally from the city of Wau in south Sudan, was waiting to go home.

Along with his friend Elias Daniel, Ganago, 55, was sitting in a tented area in the suburbs of Khartoum that is currently home to around 1,000 people from the southern city.
