It was disturbing to watch the horrible manner young girls were killed for their body parts, to aid rituals. The rebels believed that their body parts, especially their genitals made the best charm that provided supernatural power for the exploit. Girls' genitals were removed, while they were still alive. And my heart pounded in disgust, as these demon-style executions were carried out in the most atrocious way.
