Yesterday,on Youtube, I watched the documentary about the civil war that happened in Sierra Leone ten years ago. Watching the documentary brought back so much memory and made me realise just how lucky I am to be alive and best of all non of my family were harmed.
The war was absolutely appalling and dangerous and went on for 11years, I experienced people getting shot infront of me, being abused and little kids as young as 6 killing people (as you will also see in the Youtube documentary) also people's hands and feet getting chopped off. I even experienced my mum getting threatened to give the rebels money if not they will kill her.
Amazing how many people died because of one ridiculous and cold blooded man by the name of Foday Sankoh. However, I am grateful that everything is calm now and hope and pray it never repeats itself again.
Below are the links to check out the documentaries
