Kalashnikov

It is the story of a place set thousands of years ago, steeped in antiquity, perhaps knowing life before other places and knowing love, injustice, oppression, migration, and nostalgia. It is the story of the conflict between right and exploitation, between science and ignorance, and between confrontation and flight-a story from the heart of Africa that beats with its tragedy, tells its bitterness, and searches for its dream. The novel tells the story of a girl living in a small village in Sudan's Darfur region. She found herself in the midst of a cruel human tragedy, between the problems of the entire region and its own. Fierce tribal wars made her lose everything, and she found herself fighting within a rebel militia. Then she realized that these rebels did not represent her, so she withdrew to a distant location until an American working for an organization met her, took up her cause, and took her to live in New York. As a refugee, she struggles for life there and searches for her dream in a dreamland.
