Summary[edit]

Description

Annie says she lives each day tormented by thoughts of what might happen to her family.

Her fears are not new - they began in February when rebel groups surrounded her town. “We were terrified that we might be attacked while farming. But we had little choice, we had to make a living and feed our family. We have lived in a state of fear for months now. We are all traumatised by what is happening to us.”

She says her children are too young to really know what is going on, but she has seen a change in their behaviour: “My children know something is wrong. They react badly to things which they did not do when we were at home. Is it a surprise? They sleep without a roof over their head and eat one meal a day.”

Annie’s husband spends his day trying to find small jobs that he can do in the city of Goma.
