It depends what questions you're going to ask but you must be careful against making presumptuous statements to say that the region, the whole region then was peaceful when somebody tells you that people were intimidated, assaulted and the like.
	It may very well be that you make a very presumptuous statement to say that it was not so, it may be that we have people who were in fact terrorised and intimidated during that period.  And before you make that statement which may amount to being very presumptuous, I think you need to have some solid basis for saying such things.
