Rice
"Another major development scheme affected by the war is the World Bank-funded rice project in the Malwal Dinka area of Aweil. Located in the transitional grazing areas, the project was initially opposed by the Dinka and only after much demonstration of its utility was it accepted. Rice was used to prepare traditional foods and brew local beer, usually produced from sorgham. Covering an area of one million acres, the project was intended to make the Sudan self-sufficient in rice.45 Although the project is still productive, its capacity has been considerably reduced by the effects of the war. With the frequent interruption of railroad transportation to the North, marketing has also been adversely affected. Nevertheless, the project demonstrated that the Dinka are receptive to development."

I found this and I was wondering if you think it is worth adding anything. Bona Malwal gave this information to reporter Czarking0 (talk) 02:00, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Famine
"The southern famine migrants did not become a political scandal in the way that the 1984 drought migrants had been, to the extent that when a train full of starving famine migrants arrived at Khartoum railways station in April 1988, and six children died at the station itself, the only paper to report on the incident was the Sudan Times, edited by the veteran southern politician Bona Malwal."

Song Translation
"But notable in this volume are the original poems and songs, poems by Eva Gillies and Ruth Padel, dedicated to Godfrey, and three Dinka songs translated by Bona Malwal, in his memory. In these songs Godfrey appears as Thienydeng, his Dinka ox-name, meaning shaft of lightning, that is, rain, or the black bull with a white stripe, the symbol of a senior elder. One song praises Thienydeng for having presented Dinka ways of life and beliefs so well to the world."
