The first in a collection of interviews collected by MSF in Angola.

"I don't want to go back to my village, I can't work, I'm blind. Even if there is peace, I can't work in our fields there. I'm waiting for the government to help me. Even if the government tells me to go back there - when there's nothing, absolutely nothing there anymore - I won't go back. The government should help all of us."
