Thank you.

So I would like you to do me a favour. I want to see Shyamala because she was a person who played a great role in my life. After I had testified, I lost my two children and I called her and informed her. She did not give me anything ...

Okay.

Today's date?

Okay. Why I said I did not want to explain to them was because I had taken it that whatever had happened to me, let it just stay within me, right up to the time maybe I would console myself and get into something else. And in fact I had ...

No, nobody was punished.

When I was captured?

Yes.

Yes, because I'm not working.

They lied. On that they have. Even now I am not working. I am still studying. Even now I am not working. I am still studying.

Yes. In fact I don't even know that they wrote this one here.

No, I was not working. Okay, except the course, except the studies. Maybe that was why they said I was working, but I was not working.

It was not a gift. 5,000, that is a small amount. They just gave that to me and they said, "Oh, you can have this for transportation cost if you are living far off". That was just the reason.

That was how it looked like.

Yes.

Well, they never told me that they were giving me that money because of salary that I had lost. They just gave me the money. At times they said because of the time that I had spent with them they will say, "Okay, you can have this", or maybe if ...

I don't know. They just gave me the 5,000 leones. I don't know if it was for that. I don't know.

It was not lost salary that was given to me as such. They said it was just something like a token. Maybe if I come from a far distance they would give that money to me for transport fare, or something else, but it was not as a salary that ...

No.

No, I was training, but I was not working in any office. That was not even in Makeni. It was in Port Loko. I was in school.

Well, when I was at Masingbi I was not working initially because I was with my grandmother. I was the first grandchild and so she did not allow me to work. But while we were in the bush I used to work, I used to pound rice, I used to ...

What kind of work?

I cannot tell.

Well, no, because after we had got there those things used to happen, but from the time Issa passed the order they announced a ceasefire and so all of those stopped. So if a rebel saw a lady and was interested in that lady you would go and approach the ...

Yes. Particularly when they did these things, yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Where I said that I saw Issa kill one person because he set an example, he said because they said that person had raped, that was in my presence. I saw that with my eyes where he shot him. I did not say he warned him.

Yes, but there is one that is not correct.

No. The looting that one continued, but they did not burn houses because from the first time that they entered they were told not to burn and they were told, say, "Oh, no burning. No killing", but they were to loot. So after we had come and based there Issa ...

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Well, I don't know because at that time we had come to Makeni and everybody was free to do anything. So I don't know except - no, I don't know.

Well, the area where I was nobody was killed there. They did not kill anybody there. The area where I was, they did not kill anybody there.

Well it was more than two weeks, but it was not on a daily basis that they attacked. If for example they came today tomorrow they will not come and maybe even the other day, the day after tomorrow, they would not come. Maybe on the third or fourth day ...

I don't know. I just witnessed the fighting.

Okay. At that time, we were in Makeni. We had already come to Makeni. We did not know what had happened and where the infighting has started. Superman came one night and went to Station Road and killed Rambo. So as he was advancing towards Issa's place, because Issa ...

Yes.

It was Hawa.

Yes, I believed that. That is why I didn't even attempt escaping.

Yes.

Yes, if you attempted to escape.

While we were in the bush?

Yes.

I have said because I was frightened. I had a fear in me. Even now, as I am here, I still have fear in me.

Well, that was up to me because I don't think I will come here to take an oath on the Bible and put my life at stake, because if you take an oath on the Bible it has to do with God and my life. So I know that ...

I was afraid. I was afraid because I had - I had first said it in the statement but later I had the fear. That's why I did not say it.

Yes, very seriously.

Yes.
