,My name is Mohamed L Mbayoh (Lamzo T). I was born in Kono District in the Eastern province of Sierra Leone. I am an orphan, I remember about 10 years ago during the war I lost my parents and brothers I was living with.
On one Friday morning my father went to mosque to pray and on his way the rebels attack and arrest my father they take him home and ask him to show his wife and children’s as well as properties, my father refuse so they killed him and my mother shout they caught me and my mother. They want to rape in front of me she refuse they killed her too, so they caught me I think that they are going to kill me, they just ask to stay with them and be one of their boys, I stay with them for few weeks then I try to escape from them and so I decided to run. I ran about two (2) miles. I saw villages but at that time I was so angry and had nothing to eat, I sat down by a small corner and started crying. Then one woman came and ask me I tell her that I need a help, she take me with her and we ran to Guinea but after a one month she die and I felt lonely so I tell one man about my problem he said he will help me to come back to Sierra Leone after the war. So after the war, the man tell one sailor of a refugee ship to take me to Freetown and drop me. I tell him thanks and the sailor came with me.
When the sailor came with me he leave in the Government Wharf. I started thinking how am I going to live with whom and how can I continue my education and who can take care of me, I live in the street. I started working for people and they give me food and at night I slept under the market table. Some boys laugh at me and throw stones at me said that am mad. I sat by myself and cry and ask God why do you do this to me?
One day I meet a good friend called Ibrahim A Kamara. But he too have a similar problem like me. He stays with his mother. He asked his mother to take me there and tell my problem to his mom so the woman tell me to stay with them. I stay but it is very hard, nothing to eat and I want to go to school but there is no help. I want some one to help me to continue my education and care for me. I struggle a lot for my living even cloth to wear I don’t have much and food to eat. Please help me for a better future.
God will bless you,

A True Story By Faisal Al-kateep
I am a Palestinian Arab from Hizmeh, a village between Jerusalem and Ramallah. When I was 15 years old I fought against the Israeli Occupation in search of freedom. At that time I thought every Jewish person, whether soldier or citizen, man or woman, young or old, should be killed. I rejected the right for any Jew to live and every Jew was a target. I was just a kid, believe me, and I didn’t understand anything about politics or the Arab-Israeli conflict. I was arrested and sat in jail for 12 years. This was during the first intifada from 1987. At that time nobody talked about peace but only of violence. I matured during my time in jail. I started studying and reading books on politics, literature, poetry, and about the Madrid Conference.
It gave me hope to live in peace and dignity. I learned that violence only breeds violence and that peace is the only solution for the two nations, the only way for both to have a respectful and beautiful future. We live on the same land. We are neighbors. We drink the same water and both pray to a monotheistic God. We must live in peace on the basis of religion for God and land for everyone.

Hey Mohamed,
I'm fine, hope everything's going well with you, too.
Your story is very moving. I'm deeply moved by it. thanks God the fighting in your country is now over and Sierra Leone finally has some brighter perspectives.
Ohad, you are aware no doubt of the intense frustration and resentment of the Arab world and many parts of the Muslim world at our presence here. This leads to a culture of hatred, which these societies have no right to do, but nonetheless they do.…
