A long walk to water chapter 6

For a long time, Uncle Jewiir is the only family member Salva has any contact with. Jewiir used to be a member in the Sudanese army and he stumbled upon the group fleeing Sudan. Uncle Jewiir is a natural leader among the people. His military experience makes them feel safe and confident. Salva is proud of uncle. In that group, he found Salva; then, he decided to escort the group to Ethiopia, and then to return back home to fight for his country. Unfortunately, Jewiir was killed shortly before entering Ethiopia and Salva was alone once more.
