    Whoever is interested in the Civil War, the Lost Boys' Journey, how they survived and what they have become today...YOU SHOULD READ THIS !!! It includes facts such as how many were killed in the conflict in Sudan, exactly what happened in the villages and how the Lost Boys were created. Also it briefly gives examples on the types of diseases and dangers they faced during the walk, and where they were headed and how long it took them to reach safety.

  • And then eventually, each one of us start finding job and so you find yourself working, you know, totally different environment. But, you know, we are willing to learn and just be able to put yourself in the society you can just learn.

  • South Sudan
  • The south’s departure did not put an end to conflicts. There were many unresolved issues, and Sudan and South Sudan soon began squabbling bitterly over how to demarcate the border and share oil profits. (The conundrum of the two Sudans is that both countries are extremely dependent on oil, but while the export pipelines run through the north, the bulk of the crude oil lies in the landlocked south.)
  • Tribal and cultural tensions are an ongoing issue
