Piecus gadus Emanuēls Džāls cīnījās Sudānā kā mazgadīgais kareivis. Viņu izglāba kāda humanitārās palīdzības organizācijas darbiniece. Tagad viņš ir kļuvis par starptautisku hiphopa zvaigzni un cīnās par bērnu tiesībām kara skartajos apgabalos. Savu dziesmu tekstos un priekšnesumos viņš stāsta par piedzīvoto.

I just want to say my name is Emmanuel Jal.

4000
Gribēju teikt, ka mani sauc Emanuels Džāls.
00:16
And I come from a long way.
1
4000
3000
Es esmu no tālienes.
00:19
I've been telling a story that has been so painful for me.
2
7000
4000
Es cilvēkiem stāstu kādu ļoti sāpīgu stāstu.
00:23
It's been a tough journey for me, traveling the world,
3
11000
3000
Man nav gājis viegli, ceļojot pa pasauli,
00:26
telling my story in form of a book.
4
14000
4000
stāstot par savu dzīvi grāmatā,
00:30
And also telling it like now.
5
18000
4000
stāstot par to tā, kā tagad.
00:34
And also, the easiest one was
6
22000
2000
Visvienkāršāk runāt par to
00:36
when I was doing it in form of a music.
7
24000
2000
man ir mūzikā.
00:38
So I have branded myself as a war child.
8
26000
6000
Es sevi dēvēju par kara bērnu.
00:44
I'm doing this
9
32000
3000
To visu es daru
00:47
because of an old lady in my village now,
10
35000
4000
par godu kādai vecai sievietei no mana ciema,
00:51
who have lost her children.
11
39000
3000
kura ir zaudējusi visus bērnus.
00:54
There is no newspaper to cover her pain,
12
42000
3000
Avīzēs par viņas sāpēm neraksta.
00:57
and what she wants to change in this society.
13
45000
3000
Neraksta arī par to, ko viņa grib mainīt šajā sabiedrībā.
01:00
And I'm doing it for a young man
14
48000
3000
Vēl es to daru kāda jaunieša vietā.
01:03
who want to create a change and has no way to project his voice
15
51000
4000
Viņš grib izmainīt pasauli, taču viņa balsi neviens nedzird,
01:07
because he can't write.
16
55000
2000
jo viņš neprot rakstīt.
01:09
Or there is no Internet, like Facebook, MySpace,
17
57000
3000
Un nav interneta, piemēram, Facebook, MySpace,
01:12
YouTube, for them to talk.
18
60000
6000
YouTube, kur viņi varētu paust savu sakāmo.
01:18
Also one thing that kept me pushing this story,
19
66000
3000
Un vēl man par šo sāpīgo pieredzi
01:21
this painful stories out, the dreams I have,
20
69000
4000
liek runāt sapņi.
01:25
sometimes, is like the voices of the dead,
21
73000
4000
Reizēm es it kā dzirdu mirušo balsis,
01:29
that I have seen
22
77000
3000
kas parādās
01:32
would tell me, "Don't give up. Keep on going."
23
80000
2000
un man saka: "Nepadodies! Turpini iesākto!"
01:34
Because sometime I feel like stopping and not doing it,
24
82000
3000
Jo reizēm man gribas vairs nerunāt un neko nestāstīt.
01:37
because I didn't know what I was putting myself into.
25
85000
4000
Kad es sāku to darīt, es nezināju, uz ko parakstos.
01:41
Well I was born in the most difficult time,
26
89000
5000
Es piedzimu ļoti grūtos laikos,
01:46
when my country was at war.
27
94000
3000
kad manā dzimtenē bija karš.
01:49
I saw my village burned down.
28
97000
3000
Es redzēju, kā nodeg mans ciems
01:52
The world that meant a lot to me, I saw it
29
100000
2000
un kā visa pasaule, kas man bija svarīga,
01:54
vanish in my face.
30
102000
4000
izgaist manu acu priekšā.
01:58
I saw my aunt in rape when I was only five.
31
106000
4000
Kad man bija pieci gadi, redzēju, kā izvaro manu tanti.
02:02
My mother was claimed by the war.
32
110000
2000
Manu māti paņēma karš.
02:04
My brothers and sisters were scattered.
33
112000
4000
Mani brāļi un māsas ir izkaisīti pa visu pasauli.
02:08
And up to now, me and my father
34
116000
2000
Ar tēvu mēs līdz pat šai dienai
02:10
were detached and I still have issues with him.
35
118000
5000
esam šķirti, un man joprojām ir problēmas.
02:15
Seeing people die every day,
36
123000
2000
Esmu redzējis, kā cilvēki ik dienas mirst,
02:17
my mother crying,
37
125000
2000
kā mana māte raud.
02:19
it's like I was raised in a violence.
38
127000
5000
Es esmu uzaudzis ar vardarbību.
02:24
And that made me call myself a war child.
39
132000
5000
Un tāpēc es sevi dēvēju par kara bērnu.
02:29
And not only that, when I was eight
40
137000
2000
Un tas vēl nav viss. Kad man bija astoņi gadi,
02:31
I became a child soldier.
41
139000
4000
es kļuvu par mazgadīgo kareivi.
02:35
I didn't know what was the war for.
42
143000
3000
Es nezināju, par ko tiek karots,
02:38
But one thing I knew
43
146000
2000
bet vienu es zināju —
02:40
was an image that I saw that stuck in my head.
44
148000
3000
kāda doma bija dziļi iesēdusies man prātā.
02:43
When I went to the training camp I say,
45
151000
3000
Kad es iestājos mācību nometnē, es teicu:
02:46
"I want to kill as many Muslims,
46
154000
2000
"Gribu nogalināt pēc iespējas vairāk musulmaņu,
02:48
and as many Arabs, as possible."
47
156000
3000
pēc iespējas vairāk arābu."
02:51
The training wasn't easy, but that was the driving force,
48
159000
3000
Mācības nebija vieglas, bet šī doma mani dzina uz priekšu.
02:54
because I wanted to revenge for my family.
49
162000
3000
Es gribēju atriebties par savu ģimeni.
02:57
I wanted to revenge for my village.
50
165000
6000
Es gribēju atriebties par savu ciemu.
03:03
Luckily now things have changed
51
171000
2000
Par laimi, tagad mani uzskati ir mainījušies,
03:05
because I came to discover the truth.
52
173000
4000
jo esmu atklājis patiesību.
03:09
What was actually killing us wasn't the Muslims,
53
177000
3000
Patiesībā mūs nenogalināja ne musulmaņi,
03:12
wasn't the Arabs.
54
180000
2000
ne arābi.
03:14
It was somebody sitting somewhere manipulating the system,
55
182000
6000
Vainīgi bija tie, kas manipulēja ar sistēmu,
03:20
and using religion to get what they want to get out of us,
56
188000
4000
kas izmantoja reliģiju, lai dabūtu no mums to, kas viņiem vajadzīgs —
03:24
which is the oil, the diamond,
57
192000
3000
naftu, dimantus,
03:27
the gold and the land.
58
195000
4000
zeltu un zemi.
03:31
So realizing the truth gave me a position to choose:
59
199000
5000
Šīs patiesības atskārsme man deva iespēju izvēlēties —
03:36
should I continue to hate, or let it go?
60
204000
3000
turpināt ienīst vai piedot.
03:39
So I happened to forgive. Now I sing
61
207000
3000
Un man sanāca piedot. Tagad es dziedu
03:42
music with the Muslims. I dance with them.
62
210000
2000
mūziku ar musulmaņiem. Es dejoju kopā ar viņiem.
03:44
I even had a movie out called "War Child,"
63
212000
2000
Man pat iznāca filma ar nosaukumu "Kara bērns",
03:46
funded by Muslim people.
64
214000
3000
un to finansēja musulmaņi.
03:49
So that pain has gone out.
65
217000
4000
Tā ka tagad tās sāpes ir norimušas.
03:53
But my story is huge.
66
221000
2000
Taču mans stāsts ir apjomīgs.
03:55
So I'm just going to go into a different step now,
67
223000
4000
Tāpēc tagad es mainīšu toni,
03:59
which is easier for me.
68
227000
2000
tā man ir vieglāk.
04:01
I'm going to give you poem
69
229000
2000
Jūs dzirdēsiet dzejoli
04:03
called "Forced to Sin,"
70
231000
4000
ar nosaukumu "Spiests grēkot".
04:07
which is from my album "War Child."
71
235000
2000
Tas ir no mana albuma "Kara bērns".
04:09
I talk about my story.
72
237000
2000
Tas ir par manu dzīvi —
04:11
One of the journey that I tread
73
239000
2000
par vienu pārgājienu, kad
04:13
when I was tempted to eat my friend because we had no food
74
241000
3000
man bija kārdinājums apēst savu draugu, jo mums nebija, ko ēst.
04:16
and we were like around 400.
75
244000
2000
Mēs pavisam bijām kādi 400,
04:18
And only 16 people survived that journey.
76
246000
3000
un tikai 16 cilvēki izdzīvoja tajā pārgājienā.
04:21
So I hope you're going to hear this.
77
249000
2000
Es ceru, ka jūs sapratīsiet.
04:23
My dreams are like torment.
78
251000
4000
Sapņi mani moka
04:27
My every moment.
79
255000
2000
ikkatru brīdi.
04:29
Voices in my brain, of friends that was slain.
80
257000
5000
Galvā skan kritušo draugu balsis.
04:34
Friends like Lual who died by my side,
81
262000
2000
Es dzirdu Luālu, kurš mira man blakus
04:36
of starvation.
82
264000
2000
no bada.
04:38
In the burning jungle, and the desert plain.
83
266000
5000
Degošos džungļos, kailā tuksnesī.
04:43
Next was I, but Jesus heard my cry.
84
271000
3000
Tad bija jāmirst man, bet Jēzus izdzirdēja manu saucienu,
04:46
As I was tempted to eat the rotten flesh
85
274000
4000
kad man likās kārdinoša sapuvusī
04:50
of my comrade,
86
278000
2000
drauga miesa.
04:52
he gave me comfort.
87
280000
2000
Jēzus mani mierināja.
04:54
We used to raid villages,
88
282000
2000
Mēs laupījām ciemus,
04:56
stealing chickens, goats and sheeps,
89
284000
3000
zagām vistas, kazas un aitas,
04:59
anything we could eat.
90
287000
2000
it visu, kas ēdams.
05:01
I knew it was rude, but we needed food.
91
289000
3000
Es zināju, ka tas ir ļauni. Bet bads nepazīst kaunu.
05:04
And therefore I was forced to sin,
92
292000
3000
Un tāpēc es biju spiests grēkot,
05:07
forced to sin to make a living,
93
295000
3000
spiests grēkot, lai izdzīvotu,
05:10
forced to sin to make a living.
94
298000
3000
spiests grēkot, lai izdzīvotu.
05:13
Sometimes you gotta lose to win.
95
301000
3000
Reizēm jāzaudē, lai uzvarētu.
05:16
Never give up. Never give in.
96
304000
3000
Nepadodies! Neatstājies!
05:19
Left home at the age of seven.
97
307000
3000
Es aizgāju no mājas, man bija septiņi gadi.
05:22
One year later, live with an AK-47 by my side.
98
310000
4000
Gadu vēlāk neizlaidu kalašņikovu no rokas,
05:26
Slept with one eye open wide.
99
314000
2000
Gulēju ar vienu aci vaļā.
05:28
Run, duck, play dead and hide.
100
316000
4000
Skrēju, slēpos, izlikos beigts un pagalam.
05:32
I've seen my people die like flies.
101
320000
3000
Redzēju cilvēkus mirstam kā mušas.
05:35
But I've never seen a dead body,
102
323000
2000
Bet ienaidnieka līķi es neesmu redzējis,
05:37
at least one that I've killed.
103
325000
3000
vismaz ne paša nogalinātu.
05:40
But still as I wonder, I won't go under.
104
328000
3000
Es nepadošos, kamēr tas būs manos spēkos.
05:43
Guns barking like lightning and thunder.
105
331000
3000
Ieroči rej kā zibens un pērkons.
05:46
As a child so young and tender,
106
334000
3000
Es biju bērns, mazs un vājš,
05:49
Words I can't forget I still remember.
107
337000
3000
nevaru aizmirst tos vārdus, ko atceros.
05:52
I saw sergeant command raising his hand,
108
340000
2000
Es redzēju, ka seržants liek uz priekšu doties,
05:54
no retreat, no surrender.
109
342000
2000
nedrīkst atkāpties... nepadoties!
05:56
I carry the banner of the trauma.
110
344000
3000
Esmu ierauts nāves spēlē.
05:59
War child, child without a mama,
111
347000
3000
Kara bērns, bērns bez mātes,
06:02
still fighting in the saga.
112
350000
2000
cīnos nebeidzamā stāstā.
06:04
Yet as I wage this new war I'm not alone in this drama.
113
352000
3000
Tomēr, kad iesāku jaunu karu, vairs neesmu spēlē šai viens.
06:07
No sit or stop, as I reach for the top
114
355000
3000
Nevaru rimties un atslābt, kamēr nebūs sasniegts gals,
06:10
I'm fully dedicated like a patriotic cop.
115
358000
3000
esmu uzticīgs idejai kā kārtības sargs.
06:13
I'm on a fight, day and night.
116
361000
3000
Gatavs cīņai dienu un nakti.
06:16
Sometime I do wrong in order to make things right.
117
364000
5000
Reizēm es kļūdos, lai saliktu visu pa vietām.
06:21
It's like I'm living a dream.
118
369000
2000
Man šķiet, ka dzīvoju sapnī.
06:23
First time I'm feeling like a human being.
119
371000
3000
Pirmo reizi es jūtos kā cilvēks.
06:26
Ah! The children of Darfur.
120
374000
4000
Ak, Darfūras bērni!
06:30
Your empty bellies on the telly and now it's you
121
378000
2000
Jūs, kuru tukšos vēderus rāda TV — par jums
06:32
that I'm fighting for.
122
380000
3000
es cīnos.
06:35
Left home.
123
383000
2000
Aizgāju no mājām,
06:37
Don't even know the day I'll ever return.
124
385000
4000
nezinu, vai kādudien atgriezīšos.
06:41
My country is war-torn.
125
389000
2000
Manu zemi plosa karš.
06:43
Music I used to hear was bombs and fire of guns.
126
391000
5000
Mūzikas vietā skan sprādzieni un šauteņu sprakšķi.
06:48
So many people die that I don't even cry no more.
127
396000
4000
Tik daudzi mirst, ka es vairs nemāku raudāt.
06:52
Ask God question, what am I here for.
128
400000
3000
Es prasu Dievam, kāpēc esmu dzīvs
06:55
And why are my people poor.
129
403000
2000
un kāpēc mana tauta ir nabaga.
06:57
And why, why when the rest of the children were learning how to read and write,
130
405000
5000
Un kāpēc, kāpēc, kamēr citi bērni mācījās rakstīt un lasīt,
07:02
I was learning how to fight.
131
410000
2000
es mācījos karot.
07:04
I ate snails, vultures, rabbits,
132
412000
3000
Es ēdu gliemežus, grifus, trušus,
07:07
snakes, and anything that had life.
133
415000
3000
čūskas un visu, kas kust.
07:10
I was ready to eat.
134
418000
2000
Es visu gribēju apēst.
07:12
I know it's a shame. But who is to be blamed?
135
420000
3000
Es zinu, ka tas ir pretīgi, bet kuru pie tā vainot?
07:15
That's my story shared in the form of a lesson.
136
423000
3000
Lūk, tas mans stāsts, no tā ir ko mācīties.
07:18
(Applause)
137
426000
6000
(Aplausi)
07:24
Thank you.
138
432000
2000
Paldies.
07:26
(Applause)
139
434000
6000
(Aplausi)
07:32
What energized me and kept me going is the music I do.
140
440000
4000
Mūzika man deva spēku un palīdzēja izturēt.
07:36
I never saw anybody
141
444000
3000
Es negāju ne pie viena,
07:39
to tell my story to them
142
447000
2000
lai stāstītu par savu dzīvi
07:41
so they could advise me or do therapy.
143
449000
2000
un lai man dotu padomus vai mani ārstētu.
07:43
So the music had been my therapy for me.
144
451000
4000
Mūzika ir bijusi mana terapija.
07:47
It's been where I actually see heaven,
145
455000
4000
Tajā es redzu debesis,
07:51
where I can be happy,
146
459000
2000
tajā es varu būt laimīgs,
07:53
where I can be a child again, in dances, through music.
147
461000
4000
tajā es varu atkal būt bērns — dejās, mūzikā.
07:57
So one thing I know about music:
148
465000
2000
Es zinu, ka mūzika —
07:59
music is the only thing that has power
149
467000
3000
tikai mūzika spēj
08:02
to enter your cell system,
150
470000
2000
ienākt cilvēka šūnās,
08:04
your mind, your heart,
151
472000
3000
cilvēka prātā un sirdī,
08:07
influence your soul and your spirit,
152
475000
2000
ietekmēt garu un dvēseli,
08:09
and can even influence the way you live
153
477000
3000
un pat to, kā cilvēks dzīvo,
08:12
without even you knowing.
154
480000
3000
cilvēkam to pat nemanot.
08:15
Music is the only thing that can
155
483000
2000
Tikai mūzika var
08:17
make you want to wake up your bed
156
485000
2000
likt tev pamosties gultā
08:19
and shake your leg,
157
487000
3000
un kustināt kājas,
08:22
without even wanting to do it.
158
490000
2000
pat ja tu to pats negribi.
08:24
And so the power music has
159
492000
3000
Un tāpēc es mūzikas spēku
08:27
I normally compare to the power love
160
495000
3000
parasti salīdzinu ar mīlestības spēku;
08:30
when love doesn't see a color.
161
498000
2000
kad mīlestība neredz krāsas.
08:32
You know, if you fall in love with a frog, that's it.
162
500000
2000
Tas ir kā iemīlēties vardē. Tu esi pagalam.
08:34
One testimony about how I find music
163
502000
2000
To, ka mūzika
08:36
is powerful is when
164
504000
3000
spēj daudz ko ietekmēt, es atklāju,
08:39
I was still a soldier back then.
165
507000
3000
kad vēl biju kareivis.
08:42
I hated the people in the north.
166
510000
3000
Es ienīdu tos cilvēkus ziemeļos,
08:45
But I don't know why I don't hate their music.
167
513000
4000
bet nez kāpēc neienīdu viņu mūziku.
08:49
So we party and dance to their music.
168
517000
3000
Tā mēs priecājāmies un dejojām pie viņu mūzikas.
08:52
And one thing that shocked me is one day
169
520000
2000
Un kādu dienu mani nošokēja
08:54
they brought an Arab musician
170
522000
3000
arābu mūziķis,
08:57
to come and entertain the soldiers.
171
525000
2000
kas bija atnācis izklaidēt kareivjus.
08:59
And I almost broke my leg dancing to his music.
172
527000
3000
Es gandrīz salauzu kāju, dejodams pie viņa mūzikas.
09:02
But I had this question.
173
530000
2000
Nesapratu, kā tas var būt.
09:04
So now I'm doing music so I know what the power of music is.
174
532000
4000
Tagad, kad radu mūziku, es zinu, kāda tai ir vara.
09:08
So what's happening here?
175
536000
2000
Tātad — kas šeit notiek?
09:10
I've been in a painful journey.
176
538000
3000
Mans ceļš ir bijis sāpju pilns.
09:13
Today is day number 233
177
541000
3000
Šodien ir 223. diena,
09:16
in which I only eat dinner.
178
544000
2000
kad es ēdu tikai vakariņas.
09:18
I don't eat breakfast. No lunch.
179
546000
3000
Es neēdu brokastis un pusdienas.
09:21
And I've done a campaign called
180
549000
2000
Esmu uzsācis kampaņu ar nosaukumu
09:23
Lose to Win.
181
551000
2000
"Zaudēt, lai uzvarētu".
09:25
Where I'm losing so that I could win
182
553000
2000
Šai kampaņā es zaudēju, lai uzvarētu
09:27
the battle that I'm fighting now.
183
555000
2000
kaujā, kurā tagad cīnos.
09:29
So my breakfast, my lunch,
184
557000
4000
Savas brokastis un pusdienas
09:33
I donate it to a charity that I founded
185
561000
2000
es ziedoju fondam, kuru esmu nodibinājis,
09:35
because we want to build a school in Sudan.
186
563000
3000
lai uzceltu Sudānā skolu.
09:38
And I'm doing this because also
187
566000
3000
Un es to daru arī tāpēc,
09:41
it's a normal thing in my home, people eat one meal a day.
188
569000
4000
ka pie mums, Sudānā, cilvēki ēd vienreiz dienā.
09:45
Here I am in the West. I choose not to.
189
573000
3000
Tagad es esmu Rietumos un varu izvēlēties neēst.
09:48
So in my village now, kids there,
190
576000
2000
Manā ciemā bērni
09:50
they normally listen to BBC, or any radio,
191
578000
3000
parasti klausās BBC vai kādu citu radiostaciju,
09:53
and they are waiting to know,
192
581000
2000
un viņi ar nepacietību gaida to dienu,
09:55
the day Emmanuel will eat his breakfast
193
583000
2000
kad Emanuels ēdīs brokastis.
09:57
it means he got the money to build our school.
194
585000
2000
Tas nozīmēs, ka viņš ir savācis naudu, lai uzceltu skolu.
09:59
And so I made a commitment. I say,
195
587000
2000
Un tāpēc es esmu devis solījumu, ka
10:01
"I'm gonna not eat my breakfast."
196
589000
3000
neēdīšu brokastis.
10:04
I thought I was famous enough that I would raise the money within one month,
197
592000
3000
Man likās, ka esmu pietiekoši slavens, lai vajadzīgo naudu savāktu vienā mēnesī.
10:07
but I've been humbled.
198
595000
2000
Bet es aplauzos.
10:09
(Laughter)
199
597000
3000
(Smiekli)
10:12
So it's taken me 232 days.
200
600000
2000
Tagad ir pagājušas 232 dienas,
10:14
And I said, "No stop until we get it."
201
602000
3000
un es teicu: "Es neapstāšos, kamēr mēs nesavāksim pietiekami daudz naudas."
10:17
And like it's been done on Facebook, MySpace.
202
605000
3000
Mēs esam gan Facebook, gan MySpace.
10:20
The people are giving three dollars.
203
608000
2000
Cilvēki ziedo trīs dolārus.
10:22
The lowest amount we ever got was 20 cents.
204
610000
3000
Vismazākā summa bija 20 centi.
10:25
Somebody donated 20 cents online.
205
613000
2000
Kāds internetā pārskaitīja 20 centus.
10:27
I don't know how they did it.
206
615000
2000
Nezinu, kā tas cilvēks to izdarīja.
10:29
(Laughter)
207
617000
1000
(Smiekli)
10:30
But that moved me.
208
618000
2000
Bet mani tas aizkustināja.
10:32
And so, the importance of education to me
209
620000
7000
Izglītība man ir tik svarīga,
10:39
is what I'm willing to die for.
210
627000
2000
ka esmu ar mieru par to mirt.
10:41
I'm willing to die for this,
211
629000
2000
Esmu ar mieru par to mirt,
10:43
because I know what it can do to my people.
212
631000
3000
jo es zinu, ko tā var izmainīt manā tautā.
10:46
Education enlighten your brain,
213
634000
2000
Izglītība apgaismo cilvēka smadzenes,
10:48
give you so many chances,
214
636000
2000
dod tik daudz iespēju,
10:50
and you're able to survive.
215
638000
3000
un cilvēks var izdzīvot.♫
10:53
As a nation we have been crippled.
216
641000
2000
Mēs kā tauta esam sakropļoti.
10:55
For so many years we have fed on aid.
217
643000
2000
Tik daudzus gadus mēs esam pārtikuši no humānās palīdzības.
10:57
You see a 20-years-old, 30-years-old
218
645000
2000
Bēgļu nometnēs var redzēt
10:59
families in a refugee camps.
219
647000
2000
divdesmitgadīgas, trīsdesmitgadīgas ģimenes.
11:01
They only get the food that drops from the sky, from the U.N.
220
649000
5000
Viņi dabū tikai to pārtiku, kas nokrīt no debesīm, no ANO.
11:06
So these people,
221
654000
2000
Bet šie cilvēki...
11:08
you're killing a whole generation if you just give them aid.
222
656000
4000
jūs nogalināt veselu paaudzi, dodot viņiem tikai humāno palīdzību.
11:12
If anybody want to help us
223
660000
3000
Ja kāds grib mums palīdzēt,
11:15
this is what we need.
224
663000
2000
tad mums vajag kaut ko citu.
11:17
Give us tools. Give the farmers tools.
225
665000
3000
Dodiet mums darbarīkus! Dodiet zemniekiem darbarīkus!
11:20
It's rain. Africa is fertile. They can grow the crops.
226
668000
4000
Āfrikā līst. Tā ir auglīga zeme, cilvēki var izaudzēt ēdienu.
11:24
(Applause)
227
672000
3000
(Aplausi)
11:27
Invest in education.
228
675000
4000
Ieguldiet naudu izglītībā!
11:31
Education so that we have strong institution
229
679000
4000
Izglītībā — tā mēs varēsim radīt stipru struktūru,
11:35
that can create a revolution to change everything.
230
683000
2000
kas var izraisīt revolūciju un visu izmainīt.
11:37
Because we have all those old men
231
685000
3000
Jo visi tie veči,
11:40
that are creating wars in Africa. They will die soon.
232
688000
3000
kas Āfrikā izraisa karus, drīz nomirs.
11:43
But if you invest in education
233
691000
3000
Taču, ja ieguldīsiet naudu izglītībā,
11:46
then we'll be able to change Africa.
234
694000
2000
mēs varēsim izmainīt Āfriku.
11:48
That's what I'm asking.
235
696000
2000
Lūk, ko es lūdzu.
11:50
(Applause)
236
698000
6000
(Aplausi)
11:56
So in order to do that,
237
704000
3000
Un, lai to panāktu,
11:59
I founded a charter called Gua Africa,
238
707000
2000
esmu nodibinājis organizāciju "Gua Africa".
12:01
where we put kids in school.
239
709000
3000
Mēs sūtām bērnus skolā,
12:04
And now we have a couple in university.
240
712000
2000
un tagad mums ir Kaplina universitāte.
12:06
We have like 40 kids, ex-child soldiers
241
714000
3000
Mums ir kādi 40 bērni, bijušie kareivji,
12:09
mixed with anybody that we feel like we want to support.
242
717000
3000
kopā ar visiem pārējiem, ko vēlamies atbalstīt.
12:12
And I said "I'm going to put it in practice."
243
720000
3000
Es teicu: "Es to paveikšu!
12:15
And with the people that are going to follow me and help me do things.
244
723000
3000
Kopā ar cilvēkiem, kas man sekos un palīdzēs."
12:18
That's what I want to do to change,
245
726000
2000
To es gribu paveikt, lai izmainītu pasauli,
12:20
to make a difference in the world.
246
728000
2000
lai padarītu to citādāku.
12:22
Well now, my time is going,
247
730000
2000
Man drīz beigsies laiks,
12:24
so I want to sing a song.
248
732000
2000
tāpēc es gribu nodziedāt dziesmu.
12:26
But I'll ask you guys to stand up
249
734000
2000
Es gribu lūgt jūs piecelties,
12:28
so we celebrate the life of a British aid worker
250
736000
3000
lai kopīgi pieminētu kādas britu palīdzības darbinieces dzīvi.
12:31
called Emma McCune
251
739000
2000
Viņu sauc Emma Makjūna,
12:33
that made it possible for me to be here.
252
741000
3000
un viņa deva man iespēju būt šeit.
12:36
I'm gonna sing this song,
253
744000
3000
Es nodziedāšu dziesmu,
12:39
just to inspire you how this woman has made a difference.
254
747000
3000
lai pastāstītu jums, kā viņa izmainīja pasauli.
12:42
She came to my country and saw the importance
255
750000
5000
Viņa atbrauca uz manu zemi un redzēja, cik svarīga
12:47
of education.
256
755000
2000
ir izglītība.
12:49
She said the only way to help Sudan
257
757000
2000
Viņa teica, ka vienīgais veids, kā palīdzēt Sudānai,
12:51
is to invest in the women, educating them,
258
759000
3000
ir ieguldīt sievietēs, izglītot viņas,
12:54
educating the children,
259
762000
2000
izglītot bērnus,
12:56
so that they could come and create a revolution
260
764000
2000
lai viņi varētu uzsākt revolūciju
12:58
in this complex society.
261
766000
3000
šajā sarežģītajā sabiedrībā.
13:01
So she even ended up marrying a commander
262
769000
3000
Viņa pat apprecēja Sudānas
13:04
from the SPLA.
263
772000
3000
Tautas atbrīvošanas armijas komandieri.
13:07
And she rescued over 150 child soldiers.
264
775000
3000
Viņa izglāba vairāk nekā 150 mazgadīgo kareivju.
13:10
One of them happened to be me now.
265
778000
2000
Es biju viens no tiem.
13:12
And so at this moment I want to ask to celebrate Emma with me.
266
780000
5000
Tāpēc es gribu jūs lūgt godināt Emmu kopā ar mani.
13:17
Are you guys ready to celebrate Emma?
267
785000
2000
Vai gribat godināt Emmu?
13:19
Audience: Yes!
268
787000
1000
Klausītāji: Jā!
13:20
Emmanuel Jal: All right.
269
788000
2000
Emanuels Džāls: Labi.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Emmanuel Jal - Hip-hop artistEmmanuel Jal's hypnotic voice rises from hellish origins as a beacon of hope for those caught in seemingly endless cycles of war and despair.
Why you should listen
Hip-hop star Emmanuel Jal first exploded into dance halls with Gua in 2005. His music has energized music lovers of all ethnicities and nations. But Jal's life story is far darker. Swept up into the Sudanese rebel army at age seven, he finally escaped with 400 fellow soldiers, 16 of whom survived, the rest succumbing to starvation, ambush and animal attacks. Rather than resort to cannibalism, Jal ate snails and vultures until he arrived at a refugee camp, where he was adopted by aid worker Emma McCune and later sent to England.
Jal found an outlet for his turbulent life story in music. His lyrics tell moving and disturbing stories, but wrap them into hope and love. He is active in charity work across Africa, fighting against poverty and child warfare. War Child, his biography, was released in early 2009 along with a documentary film.
