HARI ku wa 14 Ndamukiza 1989. Nariko ndayobora amakoraniro mu gisagara ca Maumere, mw’izinga rya Flores. Abategetsi barinjiye mu nzu twarimwo baca baramfata twe n’abandi batatu.

Abarinzi b’ibohero ryo muri ako karere baragerageje kuduhata ngo turamutse ibendera ariko turanka. Baciye badukubita inkoni n’imigere bongera batumaza imisi itanu duhagaze ku zuba rimena imbwa agahanga. Twarara turajugumira turyamye kw’isima mu gasho gatoyi kuzuyemwo umucafu, utuguvu twose twaheze, ibikomere vyacu na vyo bikaguma bidusasata. Umukuru w’ibohero yama agerageza kutujijura ngo duhemuke, ariko tukamwishura duti: “Twopfuma dupfa hako turamutsa ibendera.” Cokimwe n’abakirisu benshi batwitangiye imbere, twabona ko ari agateka ‘kubabara duhorwa ubugororotsi.’​—1 Pet. 3:14.
