Mopti region, Center Mali

Center Mali is one of the
deadliest regions for civilians

Episodes of death and
armed violence occur
practically everyday

Subs:

When the conflict started,
we hid in the forest.

We spent three days in the bush.

They came to surprise us after 4 p.m.
They fired in all directions.

Some people fled. We came back
inside. My husband went out.

They killed him.

Our house was set on fire
and my husband was murdered.

There is no one else in the family
to take care of us.

It was the night that we fled.
They chased us away at night.

TEXT:
Civilians are abused
and caught in fighting

They have no other alternative
than to leave their homes

Many have no place to sleep
and live in overcrowded places
SUBS:

My parents
are helping me right now.

They even burned all
our grain reserves.

Our clothes were burnt. Our millet granaries
were burned. We are tired and saddened.

How to live if all your millet is burnt?

Rótulo:
This humanitarian
disaster remains unknown

Subs:

We thought the situation was not going to last.

But, the problem has continued
for three months now.

There was not enough food for us
because we bought some to last until the harvest.

The displaced people who came,
further complicate this situation

but we do everything
to not abandon them.

Now we are poor and hungry.

We are scared and don't sleep at night
because of nightmares.

We want to go back to our village,
if this becomes possible.
