The pictures from the air that look like west Texas are from the eastern part of Southern Sudan, which is very arid. Seriously, it's like El Paso out there east of the Nile.
Most of the time we were in a much more lush setting. There are thousands and thousands of acres available for farming. It will be decades before they run out of farmable acres.
