SAD READING💔😞
JUSTICE FOR JAMIMAH
This happens on 19th May 2021

It was just a normal day. At night we went to sleep after having our dinner. Around 21hrs I heard a knock on the door and I wondered who it was. My 2 children were fast asleep and my mother who came to sleep over was also sleeping
“ Who is it?” I asked as the knock persisted.
“ Open the door, this is Zambia police, we are searching for drugs” males voices answered outside the door.
Coming from sleep I became confused and continued wondering what was going on.
“ We don’t have drugs here “
I shouted back.
“ Open the door before we break it” the voices became aggressive. I slowly walked to the door and passed my mother who was sleeping at the living room.
“ Open the door, this is Police, we are on duty” they said.

I opened the door then suddenly saw 3 men dressed in black coats with hats and masks on their faces. They had guns and one pointed a gun at me.
“ if you scream we will shoot you” he said as he dragged me outside the house.

The 2 men entered the house. In my mind I thought that maybe they were real policemen on duty and my conscience was clear as I knew that no one uses drugs at our place. But still another thought came as I wondered why they were not in uniform. Who are these people? I asked myself.

Behind the house the man started asking me questions while holding my hand and still pointing a gun on me.
“ How far is the headman’s house from here?”
“ do you know anyone who uses drugs in this village?”
As I was responding to his questions suddenly I heard my 2nd child scream and shortly after my older son shouted.
“ Mommy, they’re cutting the hand of my sister” they all cried.

At this point I got the whole picture and understood what was happening.
My 2nd child was born with Albinism and I have heard of how people are after their body parts. I just couldn’t believe it was happening to my 2 years old daughter. I started shouting for help and struggled with the man who was holding me. Sadly no one came out to our rescue. My kids were screaming inside and I was shouting for help outside. My mother was hopeless as one man had his gun on her.
“ Woman if you shout we will shoot you' he told her as the other one chopped of the left hand of my poor daughter.

“ it’s done let’s go’ the 2 men came out and called the one who was holding me behind the house.
I rushed inside and found my daughter in blood. Her left hand was cut. I was hopeless and didn’t know what to do.
My mother helped to cloth her as I rushed out to find people who can take us to the clinic.
We reached the clinic around 05hrs and my daughter was admitted and Mbala hospital.

During the 2 weeks I was in hospital with her. I informed her father and other relatives although I didn’t received much support from them.

Once upon a time I was happily married in Lusaka but life changed when I gave birth to my 2nd baby girl. Her father rejected her because she was born with Albinism so he divorced me and that’s how and why I went to live with my mother in the village. Before I left church people and relatives tried their best to convince my husband that it's possible for us to have a child with Albinism but to no avail. I just had to go.

" You need a man in your life" pressure started coming from people as it is shameful for a woman to be single in the village. After hearing that my husband married another woman I also decided to remarry but it only lasted 3 months. I became suspicious of my new husband that he was just after my child with Albinism not me. I left him for the safety of my child and joined my mother. Farming and doing peace works became my way of survival

After the night we were attacked i couldn’t go back home and thank God the Albinism foundation of Zambia came in to support me and my kids. They have given me another home where I have taken refuge at their safe home in lusaka.

The condition of my daughter is stable although she still feels pain at the wound. She also lost too much blood. Her elder brother is even more affected by the attack.
" Mummy where have they taken the hand of my sister?" He asks me. He saw them chop off her hand and I think this has affected him mentally.

I have no kind words for the criminals who attacked my daughter and I pray for their arrest and prosecution".
