“I am from the Angolo tribe of the Nuba Mountains. I was married to my husband Yusuf, but we divorced because of all of the warring in our family.
In our tribe, I was one of the most renown women, engaging in warring, especially with other women at the place where we drew our water. Whenever we started warring, it would lead to death which would be followed by big celebration having killed anyone who was a rival.
Even when I was brought to a camp as a refugee, this did not end. I would still be fighting at the place where we would draw water. To be clear, warring was the only way for me to obtain anything that I wanted as this is the culture of our Angolo tribe. In the camp, I continued my warring ways and even was practicing witchcraft.
A while ago, however, I ran into the chronological booklets. I kept asking myself one question, ‘Why did God allow me to remain in spite of all of the warring, and just not die?’
These teachings have changed my life. Now I am a child of God. I am sharing about my Lord who provides peace instead of war. We only need to trust Him even if we don’t have water” (there is currently a shortage of water in the camp).
