Ten years ago, the horror in South Sudan, Annet: "I saw my father die, now I'm reborn in Cagliari."

The only way is to tell it as if it happened to someone else . Otherwise, the words get choked up in the throat. This is how Annet speaks, but she banishes the images of that tragedy from her mind: "It was 2015, they entered the house unexpectedly, they killed my father almost immediately.

I was 15 years old, and the civil war in South Sudan was shedding so much blood . They were dressed in civilian clothes and armed, and we didn't even know which faction they belonged to. They wanted the fifty cows that supported our family of ten. My father refused, because it meant falling into poverty, and they shot him in front of us: I saw him die on the ground. Then they asked our older sister if she preferred the guerrillas to kill my mother and all eight children or go to the bedroom with the leader. She didn't even think about it: she sacrificed herself for everyone. The guerrillas left with our cows, leaving us only pain and misery. And my father dead on the ground. And my sister humiliated.

Juan Annet Poni Micheal is a shy, sweet, and polite girl. Now 26, she describes the horror in a whisper : "After the raid, we fled to Uganda, to a refugee camp."
