Résumé
Le livre issu des confessions de cette jeune femme chrétienne du Sud Soudan, au-delà de l'émotion qu'il suscite, fait œuvre utile. On n'en sort pas indemne. On a envie d'en savoir plus sur son destin contrarié. Violée maintes fois, contrainte de faire semblant de s'être convertie à l'islam, son père martyrisé, sa famille dispersée, elle trouve le salut dans la fuite. Une fuite éperdue où les « hommes vautours » guettent la jeune proie de quatorze ans pour en faire leur chose. Elle croit en Dieu mais Dieu, croit-elle, l'a abandonnée. Comme devaient le penser sans doute celles et ceux qui entraient à Auschwitz... Comme Jésus disait lui-même sur la croix : « Père, pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné ? » L'espoir renaît cependant, tôt ou tard, et c'est bien là le côté touchant, positif, de ce récit témoignant d'actes monstrueux. Après de multiples péripéties, la petite fille africaine, mûrie par les épreuves, arrive en France où elle est enfin considérée comme un être humain à part entière, après des années d'errance, d'humiliations. Une vie nouvelle s'offre à elle. Gageons qu'elle sera réussie car que peut-il y avoir de pire que le pire ? [Pierre Bercis]

This book, taken from the confessions of a young Christian woman in South Soudan, apart from being extremely poignant, is also useful. We cannot remain indifferent we want to know more about her life and the problems she has encountered. Raped many times, obliged to pretend to convert to Islam, her father a martyr, her family scattered, she found salvation in running away: a frenzied chase with ‘vulture-men’ who hunted down their fourteen-year-old prey to make her their ‘thing’. She believes in God but God, she believes, has forsaken her. As no doubt the men and women believed as they walked into Auschwitz... As Jesus himself said on the cross: ‘My God, why have you forsaken me?’ Yet hope rekindles, sooner or later, and that is what so moving, so positive, in this testimony that recounts the most horrific acts. After all her wandering, the little African whose trials have made her mature, arrives in France where she is considered to be a complete human being, the years of erring and humiliations. A new life opens up for her. Surely it will work out well for her, what could possibly be worse than the worst? [Pierre Bercis]
