*The Lost Boys of Sudan refers to a group of over 20,000 boys of the '''Nuer and Dinka ethnic groups''' who were displaced or orphaned during the Second Sudanese Civil War (1987–2005). The term also was used to refer to children who fled the post-independence violence in South Sudan in 2011–2013. The boys embarked on treacherous journeys to refugee camps in '''Ethiopia and Kenya''' where thousands were sheltered for several years. Some of the Lost Boys were offered new lives through official resettlement programs in the US. | *The Lost Boys of Sudan refers to a group of over 20,000 boys of the '''Nuer and Dinka ethnic groups''' who were displaced or orphaned during the Second Sudanese Civil War (1987–2005).
