"We were concerned by their health," Tendai said. "We feared that some of them may have died because most war veterans are stressed by so many things. We were surprised by their arrests. We were not violent, we respect the rule of law and our government. The only issue was: we want to petition since we are getting very little money considering how life is difficult."
Tendai ati: "Twari duhangayikishijwe n'ubuzima bwabo." "Twatinyaga ko bamwe muri bo bashobora kuba bapfa kubera ko abahoze mu ntambara benshi bahangayikishijwe n'ibintu byinshi. Twatunguwe n'ifungwa ryabo. Ntabwo twari abanyarugomo, twubaha amategeko na guverinoma yacu. Ikibazo gusa cyari iki: Ni uko twasabaga  amafaranga kuko asanzwe yari make cyane ugereranyije n'uko ubuzima bumeze. "
