The Suffering of South Sudanese in North Africa and the Middle East by Ring Duel Ring offers a profound humanitarian testimony to one of the most neglected forced migration crises in the contemporary world. Written in a sincere and painful voice, the book documents the journeys of young men and women from South Sudan who, driven by poverty, war, and the absence of opportunity, leave their homeland in search of a dignified life—only to find themselves trapped in cycles of exploitation, racism, forced labour, and human trafficking.

Through firsthand testimonies and real-life experiences, the author exposes the realities of fraudulent recruitment agencies, the kafala system, abusive domestic labour conditions, arbitrary detention, and enforced disappearances, particularly in countries such as Egypt, Libya, and parts of the Gulf region. The book goes beyond describing suffering; it connects these abuses to weak legal protections, the failure of diplomatic missions, and the absence of serious policies to safeguard migrant workers.

This work is not merely a record of pain, but a moral outcry and a call for reform, addressed to governments, international organizations, and the global humanitarian community. It gives voice to those forced into silence and transforms their suffering into a written memory that must not be ignored—affirming that forced migration is not a choice, but a direct consequence of failed protection and justice.
