Majid, 11 years old, lives in Sardashti camp in the Sinjar Mountain

»I have four sisters, but no brother.
My father and mother live with me. We have been living in the Sardashte camp for five years.
Before, we lived in the village Til Ezer.
We first fled to Syria when Daesh attacked our village. But then we decided to go to the Sinjar Mountains because Daesh did not control the mountains. We first walked from Til Ezer towards Syria. We did not have a car which we could use to drive away. Then we were taken on a truck to Syria.
The worst experience was the escape from Daesh.
I visit the school in the camp. I have lessons in English, Arabic, science and math. When I get bored, I meet with my friends and sometimes we read something together.
Nothing makes me really mad and I also hate nothing but Daesh.
I'm unable to forget my memories. Often these memories pop up in my head and I think about what has happened during those days.
The school and playing football make me happy in the camp.
I'm just afraid of Daesh. I often dream at night and then it goes on again and again that I'm attacked by Daesh.
We took only bread and water from home on our escape.
I have one wish: All the people, who have been abducted by Daesh, should be released and that we can go back to our village.«
