I left Darfur because I lost all my family
We have nothing
We all live in hope
I’m from Sudan, Darfur
Hope and dreams for living
The situation is so desperately, so bad
3 million people or more displaced either internally or externally
My father was killed in front of me
All the people, they want to live equal in Sudan, so that is my dream
One day I will open my eyes and see a peaceful Darfur
