Sudan's Civil War

Today in class we got our tests back.  I did pretty well, but I messed up in places that I know but I read wrong.  After we went over the test, we watched a video called "God Grew Tired of Us". The video was about Sudan's Civil War.  The war was between the North and the South in 1983.  There were boys talking about how their lives were in Sudan before the war.  The ground was fertile and boys worked on farms with cattle and crops.  Every one was happy and enjoyed each others company.  Once the war started, that all went away.  The government said that all young males would be killed.  All the boys that could escape started walking and running away.  The boys who were traveling were called the Lost Boys of Sudan.  None of them knew where the rest of their family went and ended up making families within each other.  Not one of the boys wants to ever go back to Sudan.  They fear that they will get hurt or killed because they fled the country looking for a safer place.  The went to a refugee camp in Kenya.  They never imagined they would be in the refugee for longer than a few months.
