Testimony of a Family in Distress

Why are you burying him? Why are you burying him? Doesn't he have children?

He didn't leave any of our money, he didn't leave,

we didn't leave anything, we didn't leave anything.

They took our money, our gold, our plots of land, and a house.

They took a house, a house I sold, tomorrow, the day after,

tomorrow, the day after, tomorrow, the day after, we didn't leave

anything of what we saved, Sons, so they would release my sons, so I could see them

before I die. And they didn't get out, and my money is gone, with no food or drink,

they tricked us.

These Sayyids, they say they are Sayyids, we, we are 30 meters away,

One says, one is away from us, 10 meters away from us, One says he is away," I,

I bring them food in prison," he says," I bring them food."

My money is gone, gone, my wealth is gone, the gold is gone, and the house is gone.

Until now they are detained, we don't know if they are imprisoned, dead, or alive,

I don't know.

This is my daughter, she is now six years old,

she doesn't know where her father is, I don't know.

And we started getting phone calls at night, at 1: 00 or 2: 00, saying,"

Your sons are here,"

And they sent a razor and clothes,

and they put each one in his pocket About two million, or one and a half million,

they left in his pocket so we can receive them when they get out.

One of them called us at midnight and said," Your boys are here,

and just a while ago, I gave them food and water." I asked," Who are you?"

He said," I am the Sayyid.""

Sayyid from where?" He said," I am from Baghdad, and I can't give my name."

We transferred the money to him and all that.

I asked him," How will you get them out, Sayyid?

How are you going to bring them?"

We were so confused, The old man immediately got diabetes from the shock.

I mean, how did he say he would bring them? He surprised us.

He said," I swear, we are going to get them out right now."
