During the Second Sudanese Civil war, thousands of South Sudanese boys were
displaced from their villages or orphaned in attacks from northern government
troops. Many became refugees in Ethiopia. There, in 1989, teacher and community
leader Mecak Ajang Alaak assumed care of the Lost Boys in a bid to protect them
from becoming child soldiers. So began a four year journey from Ethiopia to
Sudan and on to the safety of a Kenyan refugee camp. Together they endured
starvation, animal attacks and the horrors of land mines and aerial
bombardments. This eyewitness account by Mecak Ajang Alaak's son, Yuot, is the
extraordinary true story of a man who never ceased to believe that the pen is
mightier than the gun.
