Abstract

This paper elucidates the dynamics of self–help organizations among South Sudanese refugees in Uganda and examines how refugees cope with multiple problems rooted in multiple borders. These borders are defined by the political system and occur at transnational, national, ethnic, and local levels. This paper focused on organizations organized by the Nuer, an ethnic group of South Sudan. The organization of the Nuer addresses various problems in the refugee settlement by manipulating their traditional Nuer leadership, the social structure, and the modern administrative system. In addition, they utilize rhetoric and strategies to address various borders that affect their lives as refugees in Uganda, allowing them to avoid conflict and recreate cohesion. Conversely, a drama group, consisting of refugees of different ethnicities and backgrounds just "performs" problems comically, without accusing specific individuals or parties who allegedly caused them. By exploring two types of refugee organizations, I will describe how refugee status constitutes new realms of living with multiple others and borders.
