麻豆约拍

Adut Bulgak is the first woman from South Sudan to play in the US Women's National Basketball Association - the top league in the world. It's been some journey.

She was born in a refugee camp after her parents fled fighting in South Sudan.

Now she has announced that she turned down a chance to play for Angola, who offered her citizenship, in the hope of one day playing for South Sudan.

She's now working to make that possible.

"Our women really want a national team and will be heard... Just to be able to say that I represented South Sudan at some point in my career would just be the biggest honour. I take a lot of pride in my nation and that's something that would pretty much be the cherry on top of my career."
