What is the What - Lokichoggio

"I could die tomorrow easily enough, she could not watch me forever. So I walked with her to please her to quiet her, and at first light, we were in the middle of the desert with ten thousand others. This was to be our next home, we were told. And we stood in that land and we waited that day as trucks and Red Cross vehicles came and left more people there, in a land so dusty and desolate that no Dinka, would ever think to settle there. It was an arid and featureless and the wind was constant. But a city would grow in the middle of that desert. This was Lokichoggio, which would soon become the staging ground for international aid in the region."
What is the What – Dave Eggers
What is the What is one Sudanese refugee’s story of survival.
As an eye-witness to the brutality of war, a hungry and orphaned boy and later, as a struggling Lost Boy in America, the author never complains. Yet, when he steps in Loki, our team's refuge from Didinga, he writes these "flattering" words.
Sitting, sweating and waiting for my flight to Nairobi....in Lokichoggio.
