When Elephants Fight: The Lives of Children in Conflict in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Sri Lanka, Sudan and Uganda

This book presents the true stories of five children Annu from Sri Lanka, Jimmy from Uganda, Nadja from Bosnia, Farooq from Afghanistan, and Toma from Sudan living in regions affected by war. It explores the historical conflicts in each country and examines how violence and displacement have shaped the daily lives of these children. The title refers to the Kikuyu proverb "when elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers," illustrating how innocent civilians, particularly children, are most affected when powerful forces clash.
