Many children in Sudan left the post-independence violence of the conflict in South Sudan with Sudan during 2011 to 2013.
Answer:
hi!
Explanation:
In 1987, civil war drove an estimated 20,000 young boys from their families and villages in southern Sudan.
Most just six or seven years old, they fled to Ethiopia to escape death or induction into the northern army.
They walked more than a thousand miles, half of them dying before reaching Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya.
The survivors of this tragic exodus became known as the Lost Boys of Sudan.
In 2001, close to four thousand Lost Boys came to the United States seeking peace, freedom and education.
The International Rescue Committee helped hundreds of them to start new lives in cities across the country.
The outbreak of civil war in Sudan in 1983 brought with it circumstances that would permanently alter the lives of thousands of Sudanese boys and young men.
As forces of the government of northern Sudan resumed its campaign against the Sudanese People's Liberation Army (SPLA), the southern-based rebel group began inducting boys into the movement.
