Omar Osman has a plan: get accepted to Sciences Po Paris, become a history teacher, and escape Darfur before the war consumes him. But nothing is simple-his eleven-year-old brother is shot wearing their father's military uniform, the acceptance letter arrives forcing him to choose between his family and his future, and he realizes the country he dreams of reaching is the same one exploiting his homeland. At sixteen, with four siblings depending on him, a mother fleeing her second genocide, and a father caught in an endless war, Omar faces an impossible question: is leaving survival, or betrayal? Set against the 2023-2025 Sudanese genocide, *Wait AND See* is a devastating story of displacement, survivor's guilt, and what it means to dream when the world insists you have no right to-showing that some futures are worth fighting for, some demand sacrifice, and some require leaving everyone you love behind. Content warnings: war, violence, genocide, child soldiers, food insecurity, and trauma.
