Emmanuel Jal’s story was a heartfelt account to how his life was turned upside down in Sudan. Sudan is in Northeast Africa . When he was eight years old, he was subjected to being dragged into fighting a civil war. He was lucky to escape, out of 200-300 people, only 16 survived. A British Aid worker named, Emma McCune, smuggled him into Africa and put him into school. Due to his ard upbringing, he is writing music and continues to be a peace activist. Emmanual’s impact as an artist is huge. Some of the best songwriters are great songwriters due to the stories they can tell. Experiences, whether good or bad allow for great writing.
