Gabriel Kuol is a refugee from Sudan who has been residing in Jerusalem for the past three years. The nephew of John Garang, former Vice President of Sudan and founder of the South Sudan Liberation Movement, he is a charismatic leader who refuses to give up on his people and country.

Due to increasing levels of violence directed at African refugees by the Egyptian authorities, it is estimated that 17 000-20 000 displaced persons, largely from Sudan and Eritrea, have fled from Egypt into Israel since 2007. Here, Gabriel describes his escape.
