A young boy sits on the road in the town of Yei on Thursday, July 13. 2017, one of the few remaining residents in a city riddled with murder, rape and abductions. The United Nations says it is considering putting a peacekeeping base in South Sudan's troubled Yei region, the first such expansion since civil war began in 2013, the peacekeeping mission's chief says Yei has "gone through a nightmare." Since fighting spread to the city a year ago and 70 percent of the population has fled. (AP Photo/Sam Mednick)
