Let Them Tell You Their Story- Pt. 2

This post isn't about seeking donations or giving AID..no, you can do that on your own. Rather, it's a chance to hear countless muffled voices, which have become tuned out (thanks to the media and organized religion) These are the lucky ones-

Year of Capture: Unknown
Liberated: September 2011

"I don’t remember what year I was taken to the North.  I do remember that the journey took a whole month.
Along the way, we were beaten and sexually abused by the Arab militiamen, every day, many times a day.  When we tried to refuse or fight, some were beaten, cut on their backs; some had their throats slit.  I was sexually abused so often by so many that I can never have children again.  They also knocked out my front teeth.
In slavery, every day my work was the same.  It was much suffering all day long.  I saw other Dinka people, but we were not allowed to speak to them.  There was no resting.  I cried, but there were no tears. I was a married woman in the South with three children.  I do not know if my husband and children are alive.  Many in my family were killed, but I was the only one taken to the North.
I dream of my husband.  In the dream he climbs out of the grave.  When he sees me, he runs away.  I am afraid he will not want me.  But I will look now for my people, for my husband, for my children.
Let's be perfectly clear- the war on free speech is spiritual!
