When the Soil Cries is a powerful and deeply human story set in South Sudan - a nation scarred by war yet alive with resilience. It follows the journey of Latiou Kajumere, a humble elder from Yei, whose life is shaken when his son, Moses, is falsely accused of embezzling funds meant for schools. In his desperate search for truth and justice, Latiou steps into the heart of Juba, where corruption thrives, silence is weaponized, and the innocent are sacrificed for power.
Through courtroom battles, political intrigue, and the voices of forgotten communities, the novel explores themes of broken leadership, the collapse of education, and the courage of ordinary people who refuse to be silenced. At its core, it asks a haunting question: What happens when a nation abandons the dreams of its children?
With its blend of poetic reflection, raw realism, and inspiring defiance, When the Soil Cries is not just fiction - it is a mirror, echoing the voices of parents, teachers, and youth who still dare to dream of a brighter tomorrow.
