One day we had to run

This is the story of Chol Paul Guet, 14, from Sudan in Africa. To save his life, he set off on a journey of 1,242 miles — on foot. That’s the same distance as walking from London to Rome.

“It was something like an accident when I ran away from my village. We were playing at about 5 o’clock when the soldiers came, we just ran. We didn’t know where we were going to, we just ran. We didn’t know where our mothers and fathers were. When there is shooting, when you hear BANG! BANG! BANG!, you don’t think about your friend or your mother, you just run.

In the day the sun is hot and your feet burn. So we walked at night when it is cold, because then you don’t say all the time, “I want water, I want water.” We never felt well. We just walked. People died of hunger. I saw many dying. You see, sometimes you can help, and then sometimes you can’t.

After two months we came to the Anyak tribe who knew the way to Ethiopia. To go to Ethiopia, to the Punyido refugee camp, there was a big river we had to swim across. Some people couldn’t swim, so they refused to go, but I wanted to get to the camp. In Punyido the United Nations representatives came, they saw the people, they went to Geneva to find food, and they came back. I spent three years in Ethiopia and felt well. I went to school and lived with five other boys.”

From: “One day we had to run”, The Young Telegraph, 26th November ’94

From the editor

You may wonder what is meant by the News from the past. In this section we are going to publish materials about past events which are still important for us today. Above we reprint an article from 1994. Later, we are going to meet and interview the person who told the world his sad story many years ago.
