"Once upon a time when I was staying in a village called Olwal, I was abducted by the rebels when we were sleeping.  It was at night when the rebels came and found four of us sleeping in the same room.  Due to my bad luck, the boys ran away and I was left alone in the room.  One rebel entered the room where I was sleeping and I was captured.  We were three that were abducted and out of those I was the youngest.  One person was killed because he tried to run away and then there were just us two."

"I was given a heavy load and the other man was being tortured seriously. On the second day we moved for about 20 miles.  My leg was swollen and they decided to kill me because I was unable to walk. Due to my good luck the commander ordered one abducted man to carry me on his back because I was very young.  On the third day we came to a village called Natiko and we stayed there for three days without moving anymore. My leg was treated and I got cured.  We were being sent to go and get food stuffs from the nearby camp.  On the seventh day, which was my last day in the bush, we moved from Natiko to a certain village called Laroo, which is near the town and I decided to escape."

"The picture which I have painted is showing how I was suffering in the bush and how other people are suffering in the bush up to now."
