My Name is Emmanuel Jal, and I was born in war torn Sudan.
I do not know when I was born, but I believe I took my first breath of oxygen sometime in the early 80s.
I am from southern Sudan my country has been at war for over a decade.
At the age of seven I, along with thousands of other children was taken from Sudan to Ethiopia, to learn to read and write. During my time there, I learned 8 languages, but as time passed we learned that we had in fact been bought there to be trained as child soldiers. I escaped from the growing army when people started to lose their vision and started fighting one another. Our common enemy being our Sudanese people from the north. I ended up in a town called Waat. It was here that I was rescued by aid worker Emma McCune. Unfortunately a year after I was rescued Emma was killed in a fatal car accident. After this tragedy things became increasingly difficult for me.
