I fled my country after the atrocities and tribalism committed by foreign armed groups of hutu rebels of democratic forces for the liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) following the M23 (M23 movement), and because of insecurity and massacre persists, both civilian and without protection, a victim of time smearing the other, feeling insecure, we are decided to flee and leave the country to seek refugee in Uganda.

    I will never forget on 24th February 2012, that day, the Rwandan Hutu FDLR rebels have raided my village and killed people and burn houses, including both my parents and my old brother were stabbed and murdered. The rebels forced the door of our house open at midnight. When I heard the coming I was fortunate to escape with my brother FISTON LUITILA though the back door of our house.

    I was a victim of tribalism in our country where there is no respect of the human life, freedom, social justice and democracy up to now. Fatherless and motherless, I still suffer psychologically from trauma and josses of both parents and members of my family and other innocents peoples killed.

    I can never return home because I could be as persecuted, tortured or surefire other serious humans rights violations.
