\n‘My mother was very disappointed in me
\nseeing me doing this reintegration.
\nShe said “What are you doing?
\nThese are the people who tortured you.
\nThese are the people who raped your sister.
\nThese are the people who burnt your house.
\nAnd you know them.
\nWhat are you doing?
\nYou are a disgrace.”<\/p>\n
\nwhether to continue with my conviction to build peace
\nor to do what my mother said.<\/p>\n
