I would just like to remind the Court that they know everything that I have come here to do and we know the problems that we've gone through, and if somebody has gone through such a thing and you come to an open place like this to talk, I ...

I suffered --

Yes.

My current address, I wouldn't want that to be made known to the public because for my security and that of the security of my family and I've told this to the Court many times because I want protection from the Court because I know what I'm ...

Yes, my previous occupation I told you.

Yes.

Yes, I told the Court that because the Court asked that I do it, but it was not anything that I wished to be done.

I don't want my family's name to be in the public for my security and theirs.

Well, I didn't want that to happen because the first time that I appeared in court in Freetown, my name was not called out but here you asked me to do that and I did that, but I risked my life.

No.

My father too is dead.

No, my mother is dead. She died July this year.

Yes, because I want to protect my life. That's why I said I don't want anything here - you know, that I would want the Court to protect my life, I and my family.

Yes.

Yes, I've heard.

Well, mistakes can occur everywhere. Maybe the mistake was made by me or by them.

Yes, I told them that the vehicle was parked on the main road by the petrol station.

By the garage. It was by the petrol station that the vehicle was parked. The vehicle itself was by --

I told them that the vehicle was parked. I can recall that.

I don't recall any more.

Earlier on I told you that the vehicle was parked at the petrol station on the main road. That's what I've said. I don't think I went further than that.

No.

No, they were not with Akim. They were not with Akim. And I cannot tell the Court now that they were with Akim because at that area where they were they were not with Akim. Not at all.

No. The area where they were parked, they were on the main road, that was where they were parked. You know, if somebody is parked and wants to be there for a long time they would park away from the main road, but they were parked right on the main ...

What I meant by patrol, you know the part of the road where they were parked, that would indicate that they were about to move, to go their way. That was why I said patrol.

They were - yes, because I did not see - I saw them talking to each other, they were whatever, but I don't think --

Well, what I meant by patrol, that that person was about to go.

Because they were by the main road, they were parked there, and if somebody is parked by the main road that will show that this person is about to move.

Well, the way I saw the jeep parked, I believed that they must have been on patrol, but at that time they were parked.

Some days away.

No, it was before I was amputated, that was when I saw them. It was not at the time that I was amputated. It was before then.

It did not take that long.

The refugees, that is a different date. I don't know if that is indicated in the document, but that was a different date that I saw them. It was not on the same day that when those people were running away.

The refugees, we - they were going and we met each other. That is different from the two men in the jeep, the jeep that was parked at the petrol station. The refugees were walking, talking to each other. Yes, sir, that happened twice. Those were going their own way. It ...

Twice. Twice.

I told them earlier on. Maybe the mistake is from them, but I told them earlier on.

No, it was what I witnessed that I told them. What I saw is what I told them. Okay.

I just explained to them what I had seen and what I heard.

But I keep reminding you that if somebody is from a foreign country and if he speaks you would definitely know that this person is coming from a different country. Like now when you're talking, you're speaking English. If somebody comes from some other country and speaks another ...

No, it was not only once.

I would like you to ask that question again. You, the Krio speaker. I would like you to ask the question again.

I don't recall, but I know that I told them that, yes, but I did not tell them any distance.

Yes.

I am trying to explain about the people who were close to the jeep, what they were talking, the shouting. I have explained that. But now you're talking about refugees and the refugee thing they were coming along, at that time I had not even been where the rebels ...

It is the experience that I got from the language they were speaking, yes, because if somebody is talking you must pay some attention to know what they're talking.

The refugees were going along. They had passed gone even before I met those men in the jeep. The ones that I had met before.

The people in the jeep, they were not refugees. They were not. They were just two in number. The refugees that you are referring to, they were walking, talking to each other. They were not talking to me directly. But if you overhear somebody talking, and that person is from ...

Well, the refugees whom I was referring to were not even close to those rebels. They were not close to those rebels.

No, no. The refugees were different from those two people that were in the jeep. The refugees were not even around that area.

Well, the way the people spoke their language, you know, whenever you hear somebody speaking a strange language you will know that this language is a strange language. And wherever you are, when you hear somebody speaking a language that does not belong to that country, you know that this ...
