I like Wangtondu's courage, but I think we have to act like political prisoners and not thugs. We have to realize that not all of the guards are our enemies. A few of the guards that I have spoken to seem to understand the contradictions that exist between the university and the state. The government is for the rich and it hates anyone who does not sing its tune. I fear that the attack on the university is the beginning of the repression and it will be intensified as opposition to the regime grows.
Food is a serious problem here.
We eat three times a day. They feed us boiled, tasteless food without fat and it is not enough. We are always hungry. Breakfast is cold sugarless porridge full of sand, cockroaches and flies. Supper is half-cooked cold ugali and rotten beans full of worms and stones.
