the globe gang B Y M AG N U S B E R G M A R & K A R I N S Ö D E R G R E N
The Globe Gang travels all over the world to collect children’s stories about violations of the rights of the child.
The Gang will be getting a new assignment from the Head of the UN. You will travel to Sudan, meet Machiek and make his voice heard all over the world. But don’t take risks!
Sudan is Africa’s largest country. Civil war has been fought there for 20 years.
The Gang consists of Nomza from South Africa, Tove from Sweden, Raju from India, Hun from Vietnam, Amelia from Peru and Hema from Egypt.
SUDAN khartoum
They are brought here. Here, children are abducted.
Welcome! I’m James Aguer.
The sun has just risen when the Globe Gang lands in Khartoum, Sudan’s capital city.
Here in the north, most of the people are Arabs. In the south, most are Dinkas.
James has been imprisoned 33 times, and two of his colleagues were killed when they tried to free children from forced labour. Thus far, his group has liberated 2,000 children. How do you dare continuing to free children?
Even if it kills me, I must do it. Who else would?
That must be James! How tall he is!
There are many children left to be freed, and now we have support from the Sudanese government.
Wow! James is a true hero!
How do you go about it?
That way, we can move about without awakening suspicion.
The children are prisoners of the Arabs. I am a Dinka, the same as most of the abducted children. But Arabs help us too.
We dress like the people who have taken the children.
