This book encompasses an account of my personal life, from the early years of my comfortable upbringing within the community of my birth to the many years as a refugee across four countries, my return home twenty-one years later and concluded with the achievement of the cause of this journey, the independent of South Sudan as the African 54th country. In my own experience and during the writing, there were many instances that brought the story to live and in many cases reinvigorated challenges that are in themselves very emotional to relief. However, such instances provide strength, inspiration, education and above all, motivation in guiding my course of life. As quoted by John Garang, the leader of the SPLA/M, the hero among many who gave the Southerners the freedom and recognition of a country, “some of us were born in war, went to school in war, grew up in war and grew grey hair in war”. This book in part is an account of that history in my own perceptive as I lived it.
