Dinka

Many people in the Dinka tribes had cattle and goats.
Some were out at the time of the attacks. How would you
feel if you didn’t know if you were going to make it the next
day or not. Throughout this film they show footage of the Lost
Boys then and now. How are they similar? How have they changed?
What do you think could be done in order to make all of the
villages this vibrant and lively?

Oil in Sudan
• In the 1970’s oil was discovered in southern Sudan.
• Sudan has an estimated $45-billion (U.S.) in oil reserves.
• In 2001, Khartoum sold $580 million dollars worth of oil, 60% of it went to the military to buy weapons from other countries.
• The Canadian-based Talisman Energy was one of the first companies to exploit Sudanese oil, paying Khartoum more than $1 million a day in money.
• The estimated oil revenue for the Sudanese government is $1,000,000 per day.
• Estimated oil reverses in Sudan range from 300 million to 3 billion barrels.

If I didn't know if I was going to survive one day, or the next, first off I would try and get as far away from all the horror as I could. I would also try to locate my family and friends, to see them before I possibly died. In the footage, the Lost Boys are similar because they are still amidst all the war in their country, and they are still suffering. They are different because they have gotten older, and possibly more or less hopeful.
