They came at around dawns those people is a time of whose may rebel again (Aftelly?)
They came around dawn in 1994 they attacked this town and also another group
went down to the cattle came to attack the cattle came and raid the cattle.
They kill many people even, including animal. Cow. They kill...many good number
of cow and rate all the cattle. (The one or won?) with cattle. The fighting is
start from cattle came around dawn until following morning. They went with
other cow even including my cow they rate all my cow, they went with them. And
that is the time this (Ropen?) was in charge. The (Guru?) came here to attack
