  • Men of high social standing may have as many as fifty to one hundred wives. In polygamous marriages, wives cooperate in performing household duties, although each rears her own children. Much of Dinka public life is dominated by men. However, women play a significant and even powerful role in local life.

  • Achol Kuol (not her real name) was seven when she, her mother and four brothers fled their Sudanese village because of vicious fighting between rebels and government troops. They trudged first to Ethiopia, returned to Sudan and then headed south to Kenya in a trek that lasted for years.
  • There was little water to drink, we survived on leaves and wild fruit,' the teenager recalled. 'Some of the girls were eaten by lions.' Somewhere in the bush she lost touch with her mother, who is still missing.
  • Another girl, Adeu, recalls crossing the River Gilo on the Sudanese-Ethiopian border. 'I can remember being held by two of my uncles who were helping me across. One of them was swept away and that was the last time I saw him. I was later told he had been eaten by a crocodile.'

  • Achol Kuol has already survived one brutal attempt to kidnap her back to Sudan and into a forced marriage. The girl believes this will only be the first of repeated attempts to marry her off. Arranged marriages are, after all, big business. Her first suitor offered her foster parents 50 cattle, which represents a huge sum in Sudan, as a

  • Education, no matter how limited, offers a sliver of hope, but none of the girls have yet been given the opportunity to board a gleaming aircraft, learn to use a computer and plan a new life of hope in a strange country.

  • Approximately 20,000 of the children eventually made it to an area in northwest Kenya that became known as Kakuma Refugee Camp. The survivors were mainly boys—with 1,000 to 3,000 girls. The children who escaped were usually herding cattle in the fields when their villages were plundered—when the children saw the villages burning, they fled into the bush. As a result, most of the escapees were boys; the girls were usually in the villages, cooking and cleaning their homes, and they were killed or kidnapped by the enemy.
  • The other hundreds, or perhaps thousands, of girls and young women who survived the journey are still in Kakuma Refugee Camp. Many are living with so-called foster families and are being exploited as domestic servants or worse.
  • When the Sudanese children first arrived in Kakuma, the boys were placed in group homes and loosely supervised by adults. Meanwhile, the girls were placed in foster families. In theory, the foster families would provide a more nurturing environment. In practice, the girls simply disappeared.

      This section gives a very powerful message about the lives of slaves.
  • Bereft of his identity, family or home, he can imagine nothing of his future except that, his manhood stolen from him, he can never marry. He hangs his head in silent distress at this thought.
  • Although personal accounts of slavery in Sudan have been emerging since the mid-1990s, the large-scale returns offer a broader insight into the magnitude of the murahaleen's slavery operations.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • returnees arrive in the dusty heat, crammed atop trucks, some with terrible stories of the organized abduction, for years denied by the government
  • Sudan was notorious for slavery until it was conquered by Britain in the 19th century. But the practice was revived in the mid-1980s during the civil war when the Arab-dominated government armed militias known as murahaleen to fight the southern rebels, much as they more recently have armed militias against rebels in Darfur in the country's west.

    "The one thing I remember is my parents," says Abraham Kur Achiek. He cannot be sure what year he was born as the people who would know died while he was still a child. His hometown of Bor, in what is now South Sudan, has for most of his life been just fragments of memory. A sort of interview with a surviving lost boy. The experiences they went through, what they remember and what has just clung to their memories.
