"This video was filmed in Palestine.
My heart struggles to comprehend such cruelty and the heartbreaking disregard for human life. No human being should have to endure this."
Almost one year after the horrifying tragedy that claimed the lives of sixteen hunters from Kano, one of the surviving members returned to the quiet ground where his brothers were laid to rest in mass graves. With each step, memories flooded back their bravery, their laughter, and the painful night that changed everything. Standing before the soil that now holds their bodies, he felt the weight of loss all over again, but also the unbroken bond that still ties him to them.
He came not just to remember, but to pray. With trembling hands and a heavy heart, he offered prayers for their souls, asking God to grant them mercy, peace, and eternal rest. In that moment, surrounded by silence and the echo of what once was, he honoured their sacrifice the only way he could through prayer, through tears, and through the promise that they will never be forgotten.
