Music is actually where I see heaven.

I'm constantly seen as a 'foreigner,' and I need my passport to prove my identity, to keep moving and to carry on my work.

I lost my childhood. I didn't play football or video games. Or have birthdays or the love of a family.

I don't know anywhere where the people are hungrier for education than South Sudan.

[During the second Sudanese Civil War] what was actually killing us wasn't the Muslims, wasn't the Arabs. It was somebody sitting somewhere manipulating the system, and using religion to get what they want to get out of us, which is the oil, the diamond, the gold and the land.

I am proof that one person can rise above any challenge, and if I can, then so will others if they are given the chance.

I'm still a soldier, fighting with my pen and paper for peace till the day I cease.
