Australian Red Cross and Readings Book Group Yuok A Alaak
We are delighted to bring you a conversation with Youk A Alaak, author of Father of the Lost Boys. During the Second Sudanese Civil War, thousands of South Sudanese boys were displaced from their villages or orphaned in attacks from northern government troops. Many became refugees in Ethiopia. There, in 1989, teacher and community leader Mecak Ajang Alaak assumed care of the Lost Boys in a bid to protect them from becoming child soldiers, this is the story.
