Carrying posters and signs that read "Bring back our peace now!", "Save my future, stop the war" and "Enough of the bloodshed", women of all ages expressed their anger at a conflict now entering its fifth year. "We, the women of South Sudan, have decided that we have had enough of this. This war has been going on for a long time," a demonstrator said after briefly removing the piece of white tape from her mouth. "Women continue to be raped and killed; they don't have access to their homes, and there is no humanitarian access for people in need," she told Al Jazeera. "We are tired and fed up of this, and we want our leadership to understand that this is their final chance to bring peace to this country."
