Emmanual Jal was a child soldier in Sudan who escaped to Ethiopia in an excruciating months-long journey across the desert, came to faith when he faced the dilemma of whether or not to eat his friend to survive, and is now an internationally recognized musician, writer and advocate for children in Sudan through his organization, Gua-Africa. You can read his story in the recently released book, War Child, however I highly recommend hearing him tell it live at a writers conference in Sydney Australia on FORA.tv. In this excerpt, he tells a compressed version of the story in spoken word.
