4 december 2010 - Juba, Southern Sudan - The Mundari and Maale traditional dancers performs in Miss Malaika South Sudan 2010 at Nyakuron Cultural Centre Juba. The contest featured 15 women from all 10 of South Sudan&#39;s states. The event was a way to show off their talents, traditions and culture. The competition was originally put together in 2005 by the southern Sudanese diaspora living in neighbouring Kenya. The word &#39;Malaika&#39; means angel in Kiswahili, spoken widely in Kenya, the country where tens of thousands of southerners fled to, during ongoing conflicts. photo credit: Benedicte Desrus - Stock Image
