Writer speaks of courageous journey from Sudan to America

Abstract:
The "Lost Boys" of Sudan are one of the tragic outcomes of the Darfur genocide.

More than 27,000 boys, some as young as seven, became refugees in the 1980s when thousands of villages were destroyed in the Sudanese Civil War. The boys wandered in packs throughout the African continent looking for homes and safety....

It is very sad that a university website like this fails to know that the Darfur confilct did not start in 1980 ! The lost boys you are talking about were a result of the southern Sudan civil war which contiued for 50 years and ended in 2005 when the comperhensive peace agreement was signed between Sudan government and SPLM.

The Lost Boys of Southern Sudan are very lucky! Fortunately, with the support of institutions such University News websites and caring individuals like Barbar Youree the world heard about the lost boys and forced Khartoum to make peace. Thank you America, Thank you George W.Bush, Thank you Collin Powell and chief mediator General Lazarus of Kenya; the most patient man on earth!

Those of us who were born in the sixtieth suffered in silence.I lost eight members of my family (Three brothers, three sisters and parents to that war, which the British Government instigated in 1947 when it mercilessly decided to trade our souls to Sudan/Egypt for passing rights through the Suez canal! Our leaders at that time objected but the Great Kingdom looked the other way!! Britain, I wish you the best in your war against your friends turned foes

It is good to bring justice to the people of Darfur.I hope a day will come for the birth of our Moreno-Ocampo!!!

oh my God !! some one praising Bush and Chenny while thanking America !! what an irony ! No American this day can undrestand how anyone can praise Bush who departed with two shoes thrown at him! This is just ridiculous . Some people are so brain-washed that they can not even make it through simple facts!!
