The Desperate Need of survival
In 1985 there was a 12 year old boy named Moses who lived in a village named Zahill. The village is in Northern Sudan. The village didn’t have a lot of water. Due to the lack of water, we had to walk miles. One day, Moses was going to school and heard a big boom near his friend's house. After the first one there was another, then another, then and another. Moses was perplexed, he asked his mom "What's going on”? as his little sister Maryam peeks out the window. Moses' dad came bursting through the doors. He began yelling“ We have to go! ”. The panic was all over his face and body language. Moses packed a camera, a gun, a knife, and a mask They began traveling to South Sudan.
Upon arrival, they came across a military soldier. The soldier pulled them over and asked “Where are ya'll going?” My father replies and says “My family and I are going to South Sudan". We're going there to escape the war. The military guy asks them “What tribe are you from"? My dad hesitated .Moses sensed something was wrong. Then his dad says “ We"re from the "Dinka tribe”. The military guy pulled out his rifle , pointed it and says “ Get on your knees & put your hands on your head". The military guy gets a order from a commander, but Moses couldn't hear what he said. Then, the military guy put away his gun and left . Moses was so confused. Next, he saw a symbol and an acronym. He took his camera out & began taking pictures. They began walking to Sudan.
A few hours later, Moses & his dad made a campfire. Mom and Maryam were helping to find food. Maryam saw a photo in Moses"s bag. She took it out and saw a symbol & a acronym. She asked her older brother what it meant as she walked to Moses. She heard gun shots near her mom. He went to check on her. She walked near the area. Her maryam was beginning to worry if her mom is okay and she saw blood. Blood went to see if that's her mother. To her surprise she saw her mother lying dead on the ground. Her head bashed in and a gun shot near her chest. Maryam ran to Moses: to inform him. Moses' dad heard someone running & went to see what happened. Then, he saw Maryam crying. He walked towards to her & asked "What's going on? Then, he saw his wifes' dead body on the floor. Maryam went to Moses & told him to run. Five minutes later, Moses came in and his dad says “ Moses! We have some unfortunate news .Your mom has passed away” and Moses froze as if he saw a ghost. He began crying uncontrollably. Then Moses and Maryam began crying. Also, Moses dad starts digging and puts the body in and the dad says “ we have to move on’ and moses nod and they start walking to refugee camp.
