Citizens began to plant seeds in their areas, but complain that cattle are destroying their gardens.
Drought caused food shortage in the Nuba Mountains last year, Radio Voice of Peace reports.
Nyendie Urende, laments that many people have fled because of hunger.
She calls on pastoralists to keep their cattle away from gardens.
Kechi Osman, also a farmer, expresses joy because the rains have fallen.
She notes that if the rain had failed again this year, she would have escaped in search of food to other areas.
There are no enough pastures and animals enter gardens to look for some grass to eat and others travel distance so owners cannot trace their whereabouts.
