He heard gunshots from a distance but he also heard sweet melodies. He was finally there. A place he wanted to be all his life. Fighting for his freedom. He longed for a life without oppression. Suleman was a young man born into a life of slavery, into a society of unequality. He never knew freedom.
Alongside him were three of Suleman's closest friends, friends who also wanted to be free by all means. Men in black surrounded them. Fear crept into their hearts as they saw the big sticks they held. They forced them to hold themselfs like slaves on a straight line. This happened in a position called Angle 90. After that they were forced to March in a straight line chanting strange songs of oppression , Suleman and his friends wore no clothes. They were like mere slaves being taken for trade. They cried as they struggled on, the whips on their backs felt like lightning on the ground.
After some minutes they finally got to their camp. They called it the jew camp. It was dead in the night, Suleman and his three friends couldn't see anything. All they could see were men in all black with angry faces. To the south was a large fire place where songs echoed.
They were all forced to lie down face flat. They were whipped for 4 hours. Their screams echoed down the hills they were in, ears heard but nothing was done. After some time, Suleman raised his head a little and he could see a man on white with a big fire torch, this stage was called procession with fire. He moved around chanting strange songs till he left towards the big fireplace to the south. Suleman and his friends were then told to crawl like dogs. They crawled under the legs of the men in black. But at the end of the tunnel was the man on white. He told them that they had successfully passed the devil's passage and heaven's gate. They were almost ready.
They crawled south towards the big fire place, where they could see strange men who formed a circle. At the middle where three men. One on Black, one on white and the last on red. They swore oaths of allegiance and perseverance in front of these three strange looking men. After they had taken their oaths, Suleman and his friends were asked some personal questions, and they were told that stage was called confirmation, to know if they were truly worthy of freedom. When all this was concluded, Suleman and his friends were asked to Jump up and run out of the circle, despite all the bruises on their body. They then identified themselves with historical names of respect.
They were greeted by the men in black as freedom Fighters.
