అకికుటికు.
ములులులులులు మాస్నే పికికు.
మురికుకుటికుటికుటి.
నులులులురికుటికుటికు.
మురికికికుటికు.
It happened in this place.
People were imagining that this war was not going to be for the poor man.
In some communities, people stayed there.
They thought that whatever came was not for them.
It was like coming to just get the government out of power.
But over time it changed.
Because whatever little food they had was taken away from them.
Children were forced to join them.
If you don't, you are dead.
Women were raped before their husbands.
So many things happened.
Unimaginable things happened.
That's sometimes difficult to explain.
The director of the Center for Democracy and Human Rights in Makeni,
Djibril Masiba,
commended the union for contributing to the promotion of education in the district.
He urged parents to send their children to school.
I never had plans to be a journalist before in life.
I just saw myself in there.
It was very miraculous.
I see my being in this noble profession as a calling.
Why I say so is that in 1991,
I was a businessman when the war came and we lost everything.
So in short,
I ended up to be one of the members of one of the fighting forces in this country.
I was a member of the civil defence forces.
When I see this place,
it brings back to memory what went through for them years.
This blood you see, all of this you see,
is not in but a blood of sterilemians.
Down here was used for keeping prisoners.
Later it was not only used as a prison,
but as a slaughterhouse also.
Hundreds of people were killed in cold blood.
We see belief that the bloods of the war here is blood of the innocent.
So I want to believe this will serve as a lesson to all of us.
