“Hemingway and Co. could learn something about writing about war from Wal. As far as I know, this is the only published story by this powerful writer.”
Matiop Wal
Matiop Wal was born in southern Sudan. Displaced by the civil war in 1987, he fled to Ethiopia, remaining there for almost four years before civil war broke out there as well. After staying in a refugee camp on the border of Sudan and Ethiopia for nearly nine months, he was re-displaced, this time to Kenya and another refugee camp, where he stayed from 1993-2001. In March of 2001, he and other Sudanese young men, who had suffered for more than fourteen years in the jungle around north east Africa, were given the opportunity to start a new life in America.
