Trouble in Valhalla Suleiman Ahmed

It's election time again in the oil-rich West African country of Ibana. Politicians are frequenting poor communities in search of young men to recruit as thugs. To the chagrin of Sadiq, his best friend - a gang member - is quickly recruited. Gang rivalry becomes fierce as the elections draw closer. Young boys are pointlessly dying and in a fit of despair, Sadiq decides to act. With the help of an NGO, he embarks on an audacious journey to transform his community from a hub of gang violence to political consciousness and activism. A truly powerful story. Trouble in Valhalla is a tale of agony, violence, friendship, determination and, above all, hope.
