Voices from Cabo Delgado
Forest

Subtítulos:

We had no soap or salt.

We were all alone,
suffering because of the war.

We fled to the forest,
to the Nairoto area,

and we looked for a place
where we could settle.

We ate cassava.

We cracked the leaves
and we dried them.

If we were lucky

we hunted an antelope
and had something different to eat.

It was like this for a long time:

one year and three months,
all the time suffering.
