South Sudanese traders are paying the price of storage, and more transportation charges, days after Kenyan and Uganda truck drivers protested over highway attacks.

At the Elegu-Nimule border point, on the Uganda-South Sudan border, dozens of drivers have refused to continue with the journey into the capital Juba, demanding a security escort.
