“On the way to Ethiopia the first time, it had been the
extreme dry season when we went through Pochala. Now with the heavy rain day
and night, the ground was a swamp. Two months we waited for food, weak with
hunger, ribs collapsed in. It seemed like a whole year.” Excerpt from, “They Poured Fire on us From the Sky”
by three Lost Boys: Benson Deng, Alephonsion Deng, Benjamin Ajak with Judy A.
Bernstein.
