My country, they fight three times, all those fights I was in my country. The times the fights in my country, this last fight I come in Guinea, we were sitting in my house then bad people come in my house, the rebels. Because they're attacking my country. They was fighting to kill them, but they never did. We are the same people, we live in the same country. But when they fighting, they kill us to make the country to blood. No more men in the street, they fall in the streets, that's what the president said. Everybody was killed. The president said he was gonna kill everybody. Everyone dead in the streets. He said you're not gonna see no persons, everyone dead in the streets. Maybe a dog left. A chicken. No one left.

People come in my house and say if we have any money. My father said we have no money, we so poor, no money nor something to eat. They say if my father don't give money, they kill my father. My father don't have any money because my father was rich in my country. Because my father rich, people tell they have a lot of money in the house, then they go to the house, they say if my father don't give the money, they kill you. I'll kill you. My father keep the money in the ground then my father has no money, then they shot my father, then my father died.
