"That one is made by a Somalian guy and he was trying to teach people about what happened in Somalia when the war broke out in Somalia and that guy was drawing how he lost his family during the war. They were in the ship and a bomb was dropped in the ship and theey lost a lot of people then. I don't know where the ship was going but maybe to Kenya. the people were refugees as well." - Atem Aleu

"It reminds me of when we were leaving because of political uprising and we went to the Gilla river. It's the river between Sudan and Ethiolpia and at the time it was the rainy season and the river was swelled with water and there were crocodiles in the water and we had to make a choice. Either jump in and be cut in half by crocodiles or get shot at the bank. So, most of us that survived made the choice of jumping into the river and about half didn't make it." - Aduei Riak
