The Survivor
Well, I think I'll tell you a little bit of the history we have experienced.
They raped, yes, they did horrible things against us, against the community.
I don't know what plans the government had made, or rather the ministry
of defense, that controls the army.
They drafted the whole detachment here In
(name of the place). They drafted everybody in the communities, everybody
that had signed up, because in the year 1982 the army began to come back,
and we heard what was happening, and they came here massacring and killing
us, they destroyed and burnt down houses - they killed and massacred -
children, women, everybody.
The army entered a community and there is
a pregnant woman. She tries to run away to save her life. And what did
they do to her? They stuck a knife in her womb and slit her up. They cut
her up from top to bottom and pulled out the baby. Then they left the
woman lying there with her open body, with her intestines... That was
one of the worst crimes that they committed against us.
Well, I would say that the army did worse
than the guerrillas... Then the other day they came to capture my brother.
The guerrillas came to take my brother. They tied him up for five days...
I can't bear to tell it... afterwards they had him walking five days in
the mountains - they wouldn't let us come near to him.
Well, five days passed by, and in that time
they wouldn't let us come near to my brother. And then they took him to
a place nearby and there they killed my brother. They cut him down with
their machetes, they killed my brother, and buried him there. Then I was
disheartened. Well, a lot of people were already very discouraged.
