"...When I fled in 1987, I passed through the following routes; Ajakgeer, Baairet, Piom, Kuum, Macabol,Gumuruo, Ukelo, Pibor, Pochalla, Ajuara, Gilo river, Final distination Panyidou Camp, Ethiopia. When you don't face any dangers in your life nothing to worry about to be remembered. I do remember all these routes, because these where I passed through and is where I met difficulties and is where some friends remained, in the desert, under the trees and the resulted of the remainers there, was death. We usually walked at night and hide in the tall grass of Ajakgeer savanna during the day, and we were walked on bare feet were constantly infected from thorns and snakebites. Conditions which attracted by lions, leopards, and hyenas, wolves. Many who weren't killed by wild animals succumbed to dehydration, starvation and exhaustion. You know when you fled away in dangers, no time to take any food with you, because you wanna save life first. We got nothing to eat, in such situations what you gonna do, is better to think a lot, so by the same time, we cooked our minds not to die from hunger, we survived on leaves and berries. And drank water with mud from nearly dry pools. The older boys promised food and water in a few days to keep us going..."
