São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
Located in Jonglei State, South Sudan, Daga Station is one of the major settlements in the Upper Nile region, close to the Sudanese border. As a remote town in eastern South Sudan, Daga Station relies on agriculture as its main economic activity, and the local population relies on the Nile River for irrigated farming, with maize, sorghum and groundnuts as the main crops. Due to relatively weak infrastructure, the area has long been challenged by a lack of medical and educational resources. In recent years, with the investment of humanitarian aid, the food security situation in Daga Station has improved slightly, but it is still affected by localized conflicts and climatic drought. The population is predominantly Nuer, with traditional nomadic culture coexisting with agricultural life, and is one of the windows into the culture of communities in eastern South Sudan.
