E
mmanuel Jal is a child soldier gone
right. Through his music and charitable work, he works tirelessly to
help his beleaguered new nation of South
Sudan and to prevent another genocide
by recruiting "peace soldiers" around the
globe to speak out against violence. Born
in the heart of one of the most violent corners of the world-southern Sudan-he
followed his father into the civil war that
broke out in 1983 when he was just three
years old. At seven, his mother was slain
by government soldiers, and, together
with thousands of other children, Emmanuel set off on a tortuous path south to what
he hoped would be safety in Ethiopia.
