“We shed a lot of blood in our community, so after the bonfire, we were fortunate to have the opportunity to go and pour libations to our ancestors, so that we can have peace in our community. And after that libation, there is peace on our community. Even our children obey us again.”

—Musu Swarray, Bunumbu, Kailahun District, Sierra Leone

“Most of our brothers and sisters played an active role during the war. Some of them amputated hands, some of them slaughtered women, some split women open to see what baby was in their stomach, but at the ceremony most of them came forward and confessed and asked for forgiveness and we have forgiven them. We have encouraged them, embraced them, we do things together. Even myself, my elder sister was killed during this war. Those that killed her, I knew who they were, but when they confessed, I forgave them.”
