“The hurt is still there. When my parents were alive it affected them just as much as it is affecting us today.”

“If the move to reconcile and compensate came from the coup perpetrators maybe, I would have given it some thought but coming from the Government is hard to accept.”

“The hurt is still with us, something we do not openly discuss but this government has not attempted to include us in any of their reconciliation process.”
