Formerly lecturer of the University of Khartoum and the Dean of the College of Natural Resources and Environmental Studies of the University of Juba. A veteran of four United Nations Peacekeeping Missions in Somalia, Liberia Sierra Leone and Liberia again. A self taught amateur historian, especially of the political developments of Southern Sudan. He has written several articles and books on those developments. This book is about Ezboni Mondiri Gwonza, one of the illustrious political leaders of the Southern Sudanese struggle for freedom and ultimate independence. The book not only tells about the person of Ezboni, but an insight into the 55-year long struggle of the people of South Sudan for independence and freedom. Comments on the book from Dr. Charles Saki Bakhiet says: ＂Ezboni’s story could not have been told any better. Overall, you have done justice to the record of Ezboni and highlighted his tremendous contributions to our liberation struggle. As you rightly highlighted, Ezboni’s dream has been realized in spite of our current hiccups. I hope that this and other writings will one day be a compulsory subject in our schools＂ Dr. Charles Saki Bakhiet.
