Kenyan torture victim still bear the scars

When I was released I would have nightmares about three times a week. I would dream about the murder of people at Hola. These nightmares continued for about four years.

When people talk about the Mau Mau or the colonial era I think about the terrible events I lived through. When these thoughts are triggered I get so sad and stressed about what happened that I develop a headache and I cannot work.

I feel I was robbed of my youth and that I did not get to do the things I should have done as a young man.
