Last evening Simon Deng presented his story at the Kansas State University Student Union. Here is a man deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize. I wasn't able to attend his lecture, but the K-State Collegian has a brief report on it "Former child slave exposes problems in Sudan":
"Deng became a slave at the age of nine when he was abducted by an Arab neighbor and taken to northern Sudan where he was given to an Arab family as “a gift.” Deng’s traumatic enslavement lasted three and a half years. Despite being a child, he was forced to work continually and was frequently required to do things no child should: He only could eat table scraps left after the family had eaten, was beaten regularly and was forced to sleep in a barn with the family’s animals.
“I was constantly kept under terror, being tortured even though I’d done nothing wrong,” Deng said. “That is what it means when I talk about I’m being robbed of my dignity as a human being. I’m turned into a piece of property.”
Deng eventually escaped from his slave masters when they moved to a city. There, he met a man from his village, who helped him to return to his family in southern Sudan. Deng later became a messenger for the Sudanese Parliament, a position he said made him increasingly aware of the genocide and atrocities committed by the country’s Arab government against its African citizens. Deng said he immigrated to America because he could not remain in a country that had enslaved him and continues to murder his people.
“In 1983, the jihad was declared on the southern Sudanese,” Deng said. “And they slaughtered two million southern Sudanese being called, by their definition, ‘infidels,’ and they left seven million southern Sudanese as refuges. But that piece of information was not brought to you when we are discussing the atrocities that are happening today in the region of Darfur.”"

Genocide in Sudan: It's the Jihad
