just as i was thinking it cant get worse........

The account of tribulations of these pre-uni fellows seems like I am watching a movie. God Almighty did these things happen to these helpless youths? God forbid!!!!

He is busy writing the next chapter.

Kagizzard you have described the incident in minute detail. I was there and it has actually made me shed a tear or two.When the afandes/servicemen stormed in to our barrack,it was in the middle of the night and there was total darkness.We were so scared!The only 'defence' we had was our blankets and i remember covering myself very tightly from head to toe.The brutes started flogging us and we started screaming.The screaming did not help. Mind you we were screaming when we were still covering our heads with the blankets!I heard of the rape rumours that happened in some barracks near the fence.Our barrack fortunately was spared. Part of the stories going round were that of a girl that was raped and during the ordeal the afande asked her`unapiga duru kwa nini na ishaingia'. Very unfortunate incident. Majority of the girls were still very innocent and you can imagine the trauma they have had to live with. Those are some of the crimes against humanity that took place during the Nyayo era, are buried in our history and nobody talks about them! How sad.........
