“In Komanda there were no activities, and people were in groups around the shops and the places that were burned. And people were sad. There was sadness everywhere.”

Another shopkeeper whose company was also burned down, said to Judith: “We don’t even understand why all this is happening.”
The Monusco van de UN (the stabilization mission in the DRC) shipped in the earth that took “caterpillars” to dig a huge crater in the village, a mass grave in which simple boxes that were killed boxes were placed for the dead. Some of those who were buried that day had come to Komanda for safety after they had already been attacked in other areas.
During Monday’s funeral, Judith said: “People were crying, crying, some cried for their children who were kidnapped. A woman cried to marry the man she was soon to marry. Others also cried that this is the person who cared for me. Now the person is no longer.

In Africa we think the Sahara is that more than 16 million Christians are displaced as a result of the violence. The church is on the run. Christians are the run. run. De run. Christenen zijn aan de run. De run. De run. De run. Christenen zijn op de run. Christenen zijn aan de run. De run. De run. De run. Christenen zijn aan de run. De run. De run. De run. De run. De run. De run. De run. De run. De run. Christenen zijn aan de run. De vlucht.
Judith heard about the mediated peace agreement of President Donald Trump between the DRC and Rwanda. However, it has not made any difference in the situation in which she is located in the eastern part of the country. “We have seen many peace agreements that have given no results,” she said. “The peace agreement that is needed is the one with the ADF. For now they continue to attack the people.”
