Today I talk to Anei Thou, a proud Aussie brought up in Western Suburbs of Melbourne. His Story in unique - Anei was born in Sudan where he fled with family due to brutal civil war in Sudan and subsequently arrived in Australia as a refugee. This Civil war nearly lasted half a century resulting in two million deaths and millions displaced. He talks about his family’s journey to Australia and growing up as a Black African in the Western suburbs of Melbourne.
