AN INSPIRING STORY OF A "CHILD SOLDIER'S" JOURNEY
FROM THE BUSHES OF ERITREA TO THE RED LIGHT
DISTRICT IN AMSTERDAM.
His Fight and Flight to Freedom and Liberty as Narrated at 40,000 ft. Life has many twists and turns. Each one of us have a story to tell, some more exciting and captivating than others. This book tells a story of an 11-year-old Eritrean boy Mulugheta (Mulu) who grew up in "Piccolo Roma" Asmara, the charming capital city of Eritrea. Once filled with Roman architecture and Italian gelato, the serenity of the Italian colonial city is disrupted by freedom fighters' intent on liberating Eritrea.
Like many others, Mulu flees the capital to escape the violence and turmoil. Mulu soon finds himself in the jungle, an AK-47 on his hip - and being hunted by one of the mightiest armies in Africa.
After escaping a war that cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, Mulu finds an opportunity to leave the country. Jumping at the chance to create a new life for himself, he arrives in the middle of the Red Light District in Amsterdam. There he begins his journey of navigating the social and cultural complexities of European life-and is finally led to his path to tasting the American dream.
