Small Q

We want to go back home. So for those who got scared and were like, we're going to continue with the work. We are punished somehow, maybe some hero strokes, then taken back to the officers. But me and my team of almost 25 guys, Ugandans, some two Kenyans, a girl and his brother, And other five Ethiopians, actually, we was the team that put up that strike during day.

So me and my team, almost 30 people, we are hanged in that dark room.

Have you ever gone to a butcher where they keep meat? So they hanged us up on some metal hooks. Imagine on handcuffs, holding your own weight. So you're suspended off the ground. Yeah, man. Are your feet touching the ground? Nope. And at a certain point you use, you know, to try to touch the ground so that you don't feel that pain.

But these guys made it intentional so that we don't touch the ground. So we are lifting ourselves up on those hooks. Then we were not allowed to eat or drink for all the time we spent in there. We were not allowed to use, you know, washrooms. So each and everything you had to do, you had to do it there on yourself. Pool and pool. Man, this is so emotional.

Because when I remember this stuff, man, it's like... I felt like not even just a slave. I felt like, God, what have I done, you know, to pass in this kind of situation, bro?

The first day, I was like, we can make it. We can make it with my brothers because we are, you know, trying to have a conversation. Man, why are these guys putting us here? Are they going to kill us? So hours we are moving as we are, you know, trying to communicate. The second day, none of us was able even to speak a word according to the pain.

These guys were monitoring us. They had those electric sticks, some of them holding guns. When they find you just dozing like this, they're going to beat you, they're going to kick you, they're going to use those electric sticks on you so they don't actually doze. One of us, the Ugandans, fainted and the only way to get him back was to put an electric stick on him.

So this got us so scared and we were like, let's fight sleep. But you know, sleep is something you can't fight, my brother. So we failed and what I was hearing around was noise. You know, people crying for their lives because everyone was now dozing. So they used to put sticks on him like this the second day. We feel like this is the end of it now. We are getting out.

But these guys kept us more days, more days inside there. It's called the dark room, not because it's dark inside, but the place where you lose your brain and your brain goes dark, like you don't think about anything anymore. You lose your mind. You start imagining stuff that's not there. Man, there is a certain point I imagined like I'm in heaven, like I've died now.

So I started talking to myself. I was like, God, so this is heaven. This is heaven already. Is this heaven? Why am I feeling pain? Tell me, God, am I in hell or heaven? So at this point, I didn't even recognize that there was someone on the fourth day when I was in the dark room. At a certain point, I also imagined myself moving, like I saw myself free, but I was actually still in the same place.
