Kuergeng is a small village which merchants use to sell their domestic animals, fruit, buy and sell clothes, shoes and many more in exchanges of money and Maize, sorghum and so many others things. Life was really miserable through all the years there’s famine which result war between the villagers. Villagers where dying because of drought, farmers were  most affected by the drought lack of rain hoping that there may yet be sufficient rain in the growing season and yet  rain is not sufficient through the years. There’s disease and the villagers had no hospital which their sick people can attend to cure their diseases like Malaria, headache, fever, typhoid and others simple sickness. In 1997 Ethiopian government official who were head of the state called Gambella had conducted a conference with the Vice president of Ethiopia Maleszenawe and the head of Gambella state spoke in behave of southern Sudanese people who lived near Ethiopia border. The conferences were all about to provided hospital and school to the villagers who lived near Ethiopia to received education from Ethiopia since southern Sudan were still in war with north Sudan. Ethiopia were full of refugee that Migrate from Sudan because of civil war. This state was given to Southern Sudanese people who lived near border between Southern Sudan and Ethiopia, only black people and some of Ethiopia lived there in Gambella.
