They are just people, but if you see how they behave (not all but sadly most of them) they look more like hell beasts than people. They rape, loot, hit people, retain anyone they want... Look on google for Wuilly, it's a kid that they tortured at the point they even burnt his hair, just because he played a violin at the protests.
I hope too things would change soon, and thank you for the good wishes. I'll take care, hope you too!
