REFUGEE BOY

---

Alem is a refugee from Ethiopia. His parents are both Eritrean and Ethiopian. Alem escapes to England from a violent civil war in Badme, which at the time of the novel (2000/1999) was disputed to be either in Ethiopia or in Eritrea. In 1991, 14-year-old Alem and his father are in the capital of Eritrea, his mother's home country. When Alem is ten years old, he and his family move to Harar in Ethiopia, his father's country. In Ethiopia, his father gets a better job within the postal service, but Alem's mother loses her job because the Ethiopian workers say they are "at war with Eritrea, so they will not work with someone from Eritrea". Alem's father is then told by his co-workers that he must leave his wife because she is Eritrean and therefore "the enemy". Alem’s mother is held at point blank before pushed onto a bus.
