They Poured Fire On Us From The Sky: The True Story of Three Lost Boys from Sudan

Alepho was transported to Lokichokio by lorry. Once he arrived there, he found the immigration center and registered himself, receiving a few biscuits in return. From there, he joined other refugees headed to Kakuma on trucks.

Alepho arrived at the UNHCR compound in Kakuma at night and was instructed to join one of the many groups of Sudanese refugees. He chose a group at random and discovered his uncle Ajak and brother, Peter, within the group. Peter almost didn’t recognize Alepho at first because of how sick and weak he looked.

Peter and Ajak took Alepho to the clinic to get him treated and nursed back to health. Alepho reunited with Lino and Emmanuel too, who had both managed to make it to Kakuma after all. Peter told Alepho his own story of escaping Palataka and making it to Kenya with a group of other boys. Alepho was thrilled to see him looking alive, healthy, and well.

Shortly after Alepho left, the boys at Natinga began receiving their military training. Benson grew even more determined to leave, knowing that he would have no control over his life once he was recruited as a soldier.
