Riassunto

Why South Sudan Matters

Not a day goes by that there isn’t news coverage of a war breaking out somewhere in the world, or violence, or terrorism, or human trafficking, or child soldiers . . . the sheer volume of the reports is almost desensitizing. It isn’t that we don’t care or feel, even if briefly, for those living through these horrors, it is just that . . . well, it doesn’t impact our lives—or does it?

In author Garang Malong’s authentic, captivating book, Why South Sudan Matters, he takes the reader along on his harrowing, childhood journey in a country constantly at war— a journey that no child should have to endure. This book is chilling, heart-rending, and riveting. Thanks to the author’s gift of storytelling, the reader will live through his trials with him, experience the love the South Sudanese have for their country, and in learning about the future possibilities for South Sudan, feel the connection we have to one another.

One thing is certain. No one who reads this book will remain unchanged.

Su questo libro

Informazioni sull?autore

Honorable Garang Malong Awan is a lifelong resident of his beloved South Sudan. After a sporadic, sometimes inadequate early education, he graduated from the University of Nairobi in Kenya, Africa. His focus of degree study included Political Science, Sociology, Armed Conflict, and Peace Studies with a diploma in Criminology and Social Order, and a concurrent certificate in Public Relations. His natural leadership ability and his passion for improving the educational system in South Sudan led to his appointment and success as Minister of Education and Social Child Welfare. He states that, because of the hardships he endured as a child, “I had a chance to help others, as I knew what they were suffering from my own experience.” He now serves as Minister of Agriculture and Forestry in Aweil East State, noted for its farming and cattle, which helps feed others in the region with milk and meat. About his book he says, “My life’s struggle has been put to rest with pen and paper, not with guns and bullets.”
