Salaam - the Game

BBC, Outlook, Creating a video game in a refugee camp

"Lual Mayen was born in what is now South Sudan but his family had to flee from conflict in 1993. They made it to Uganda and set up home in a refugee camp. It was here that Lual discovered computers - and computer games. He created one called Salaam that focused on peace and empathy rather than violence, something his family had experienced in real life. It started attracting attention worldwide and last year it won the Global Gaming Citizen award." also see Junub Games
