Clement Harambe of Sudan. His father's murder and the death of his youngest brother from starvation in 1987 prompted Clement to leave home. At the age of 11 he joined the southern Sudanese army to fight against the government that had killed his father. In 1991, he was encouraged by an older man in the army to escape and to pursue his education. Thus began an odyssey that took him to Ethiopia, where he was almost killed by bandits, and eventually to Kenya, where he spent several years living in refugee camps waiting to leave. The desire for an education helped Clement survive his ordeals. |
