“He approached me, that he is one of of their superiors, their commander, so he approached me because I was the youngest there and then I’m actually a Christian.
“He approached me and he said he liked me and wanted to marry me and keep me in the camp.

“But in my own case, I would say it was a miracle. So coming back, everyone, especially my family was really happy to have me back.”
