Today in Mr. Schick's class we watched part of a movie about the people who had to flee from Sudan in 1983 when a civil war broke out. I was shocked to see that there were 27,000 men who had to flee Sudan just to stay alive because of the civil war. The leader of North Sudan said that every South Sudan boy had to die, and if they didn't die then they had to be tortured. One way of torturing the young men was by cutting lines in their head so that they would be there forever and nobody would find them attractive. They first fled to Ethiopia where they where for three years until the Ethiopian government completely fell and so they were forced out of Ethiopia. Then they fled to Kenya where they felt safe and would not have to fear for their lives. When they got there they only had 12,000 boys left. The rest of them either died of wild animal attacks, explosives, starvation, or dehydration. When they got there the had found that the united nations had set up a refugee camp for them so that they could live there for as long as they needed. They also provided them with food and shelter so they could live along with food. That is what we did in Mr. Schick's class today. Hope you read my blog tomorrow.
