They were boys when the war began — innocent and ignorant of missiles, drones and Russian occupation. Three years after Russia’s full-scale invasion — the war still raging — they are facing adulthood in a country where being a man often means carrying a weapon.

NAIROBI - The guitar thrummed, drumsticks smashed into a quivering cymbal and the lead vocalist for Rash howled into the mic, electrifying the night air. After years in the wilderness, Kenya’s small rock and metal scene is exploding, with bands like Irony Destroyed, Last Year’s Tragedy and Rash clawing their way up the charts.

Sie kommen zu Fuß, reiten auf bepackten Eseln oder kommen mit Karren, auf deren Ladeflächen sie das Wenige verfrachtet haben, was ihnen von ihrem alten Leben geblieben ist: Seit Beginn des verheerenden Krieges im vor vierzehn Monaten, haben rund 600.000 Sudanesen Zuflucht im benachbarten Tschad gefunden.
