| *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).

| *During the Second Sudanese Civil War, children were unable to adequately support themselves and suffered greatly from the terror. Many children were orphaned or separated from their families because of the systematic attacks of genocide in the southern part of the country. Some children were able to avoid capture or death because they were away from their villages tending cattle at the cattle camps (grazing land located near bodies of water where cattle were taken and tended largely by the village children during the dry season) and were able to flee and hide in the dense African bush. | | *During the Second Sudanese Civil War, children were unable to adequately support themselves and suffered greatly from the terror.

| *Motivated by the loss of their parents and their need to find food and safety from the conflict, an estimated 20,000 boys from rural southern Sudan fled to '''bordering Ethiopia and Kenya.''' Much of the travel took place by foot in large groups with the boys traveling in single file lines.[9] The journey from South Sudan to the nearest refugee camp could be up to thousands of miles. Travel ranged from a span of weeks to two or more years. Often, the children traveled with no possessions besides the clothes on their backs. The Boys often depended on the charity of villages they passed for food, necessities, and treatment of the sick. However, most of their travel was in isolated regions with very little infrastructure. Groups of Boys were often organized and led by the oldest boy in the group, who could be a young adult or sometimes as young as ten or twelve years old. | | *Motivated by the loss of their parents and their need to find food and safety from the conflict, an estimated 20,000 boys from rural southern Sudan fled to '''bordering Ethiopia and Kenya.''' |
| *Initially, most of the fleeing boys went to a refugee camp in '''Ethiopia''', until the war in 1991 sent the boys fleeing again to a different refugee camp called''' Kakuma, which is located in Kenya'''. | | *Initially, most of the fleeing boys went to a refugee camp in '''Ethiopia''', until the war in 1991 sent the boys fleeing again to a different refugee camp called''' Kakuma, which is located in Kenya'''. |
