Too Much to Remember:
Met with Koko’s Uncle Alexander again today. He continued his epic story of the LRA attack where four of his sons and one grandson were killed, four grandchildren abducted …
He and his elderly wife were badly beaten, spent 5 days walking to safety along LRA laden roads lined with burnt huts and the dead. Five days with no food, no sleep.
It Left me with many questions. Do I push too hard? Is it worth making them relive these stories? What questions to ask and which to leave alone? I’m no journalist.
As he described the story of his grandson’s murder, he broke down crying. It’s too much to remember. Too many losses in 1 day. Then he got up and left.
My daughter is in Dungu with MercyCorp. Her name is Luellen Kazan. I’d love any feedback about where she is and the current status of the LRA.
Thank you.
