Tumani (Hope), 38. A tailor who fled her village with her sewing machine

"This sewing machine is my life. I brought it with me when I had to run in the middle of the night. It is this sewing machine that feeds my family.

Our village is called Karuba. We were forced to run in the middle of the night. We heard gunshots outside, very close to our homes and we decided it was time to go. The whole village decided to leave together. We had no time to take food we had to run for our lives. We were all running. I remember many people running, many, many people. I fell and broke my leg but I managed to keep going. Many of people were shot and killed as they were running away: old people, adults, children, people I knew"
