Quotes We have to stand up and and show the West that we are able to tell our own stories. Two things, for two different audiences. For the Sahel region, I want to give hope, to show that no matter how hard it is right now, please don’t give up. For the international audience, I want to share the story of what we are going through. There is war everywhere in the world, and some are more talked about than others. It is my responsibility to bear witness and highlight what is going on in my own home. External links
