Winds of Sand, Women of Rock Page #3

I fought a long time

but he didn't divorce me.

I was also married off,

but we divorced.

It was destiny.

Now, I'm responsible for my own life.

I do what I want.

I'll marry the man I really like.

My ex-husband hurt me so much.

He beat me every day.

- That's awful.

One day I was lucky,

I found a way to escape.

Didn't his family look for you?

- They shouted all around saying:

"We're looking for a 15-year old

with a nose jewel."

I took it out

so they wouldn't spot me.

They said:

"She is called Amina,

wears a nose ring

and a long dress. She is 15."

Finally my grandmother came.

She said:

"I thought my granddaughter

had been given to a husband,

not to a man who hurts her."

She took me back.

You can't imagine how much

that guy made me suffer.

He gave me hell.

He handled me very roughly.

Damn him!

Now it's all over.

How do you see things now,

after all these years?

Every woman can have ambition.

- Being like others gets you nowhere.

You have to have a goal.

- Yes, that's better.

DAY 7, MODJIGO WELL

Greetings! How are you?

Everything alright?

Fine and you how are you?

- Good.

I can't get through.

- Really?

It's not working.

- Why is that?

We'll try again.

It's Amina, how are you?

No bad news?

How is your daughter?

We are on our way.

How is Fatimi?

Yes, mum is also here.

Did I use a lot of credit?

- It's OK.

What?

What did you say?

May God greet him!

Is grandmother there?

What did you say?

When did her son die?

Who?

I didn't know

When?

When?

I'm running out of credit.

Thank you!

Me too, I'm happy

to hear your voice!

Here you are, thank you.

God bless you.

Thank you!

Girls, we're leaving,

will you be alright?

Yes, fine. Goodbye.

Oumi, bring the camels.

DAY 9, 230 KM

How far is the Dibella plateau?

- 8 valleys.

Eight!

In the afternoon,

we should hurry

and look for grass.

- To the plateau?

Yes, we have to find

grass for the goats.

This is urgent now

We need to do this.

- When will we reach the plateau?

We'll get some very good grass.

We rest here and move out at 3 p.m.

- Can we get there today?

We need to get there today.

We have to feed the goats.

The route will be easy at first,

and then we'll reach bigger dunes.

The Atchi and Atchido dunes,

that run into each other.

There is a passage

but it's narrow

ls there anything for the goats to eat?

The camels are tired.

I can't tie it up.

- It's afraid.

Give her the rope.

OK, let it up.

Hold the baby tight,

otherwise it'll fall.

DAY 10, 260 KM,

DIBELLA WELL:

Now my tooth is hurting.

The animals are tired.

- Yes, they are.

Even my donkey is tired.

- Tired or sick?

I guess it's ill.

Your donkey's ill?
