Nandoona comes from Dawari in North Waziristan. She spent three days, and two nights walking after the Pakistan Army started its aerial bombardments. When she started out–without her husband who stayed behind–she had six children. By the time she arrived in Bannu, she only had four children left. She lost one boy, and one girl, on her way. Two days later, she heard that her husband might be dead.

The translation is incorrect. please fix it with the help of someone from waziristan.
especially at 1:28 when the question which we cannot hear, was probably about her relatives.
She replied, ” She has no idea where are some, some have died on the way out of Waziristan, due to thirst and hunger”
While the translation turns “thirst” & “Hunger” to “One boy & One girl”.
And this “One Boy and One Girls” is also the title of the video.
But she surely lost her husband and two kids and is left homeless with 4 kids. She is complaining about he way they had to leave Waziristan, and about the helpless situation they are facing now.
@Im1r4n Thank you. We have messaged you. Would be lovely if you could help us improve on the translation by e-mailing us on editors@tanqeed.org
@TanqeedOrg its good seeing your concern about it.
I have given it a try, will post that next.
It has time stamps.
“Parentheses ( ) ” are my comments on the translation.
“Square brackets [ ]” shows the part of sentense which I couldnt understand properly , but I have given it a try according to the context.
But again, someone from NWA is needed to translate it properly, some from Dawar or Wazir tribe.
00:05 – These young boys and girls have survived with us while all our men are dead in it (in Operation).
00:10 – these small children are left to me now
(depends on her for their surival)
00:12 – What should I do?
00:15 – Suggest me a way out of it.
00:18 – Do some effort for us please.
00:20 -[ Look over here,see, that one.
00:22 – See the one with (unclear) ]
00:26 – similarly these others.
00:28 – [ Do you see, my (or their?) throat is chocked, I
am gasping for breath.]
(probably listening to the inaudible question)
00:39 – Papers, documents, I have lost them
all.
(and probably listening to the next question)
00:44 – on foot (we had to walk)
00:46 – [ we were not transported here with
vehicles]
00:50 – Some within us died on the way.
00:54 – My young kids are left behind.
(Again listening to a Qustion???? )
01:03 – On our way [ I brougth them with me, do
you see them, with (inaudible) , since theres a
war.]
01:08 – Like them, I also brought other young
girls with me.
01:13 – Show some tolerance to us. Fix up some
arrangement for us please.
01:19 – What can “I” do?
(Question again??)
01:23 – [ There are some, no idea where they
are now. Some a
lso ] died on the way, due to
thirst and hunger.
01:35 – I could bring 4 (kids) with me, while
two are still trapped in there.
01:40 – My husband is also over there (not
anymore with me).
01:41 – Theres no news about them whether they
are already dead.
01:44 – What should I do with them (kids) now?
