"Violence is addictive," says former child
soldier-turned-hip hop artist and activist, Emmanuel Jal. He should
know.
Born in what is now South Sudan, Jal grew up with war raging between the
predominantly Arab Islamic north and largely Christian south Sudan.
As a boy, he also lost most of his family including his mother, saw
his house being burnt down and witnessed his aunt being raped by
soldiers.
