I have Seven siblings, four big brothers, two big sisters and one little brother, and we all have same parents mom and dad. I lived in Burundi for couple of months, then we moved to Rwanda once the civil wars in Burundi had reached were we live. We settled in kigari Lilima in Rwanda.

We lived there for about 3 years. Then the war began there as well, then we moved to congo, Zaire. We were on our feet for months almost for a year from Rwanda to Zaire. When got in Zaire we stayed in a refuge camp. Lived there for about six years. Thats when i was still young then so all I could remember ishanging out with my friends and trying to make littletoy cars out of corn trees.

After a year or two, war came out of no where again, then we moved to Tanzania. While this transition, is when I sow the most craziest moment of my life. Getting separated from my parentand my other siblings. My parent had went to the storebefore the war, so the ran on their own. As for mysiblings, we were seating in a circle, so we ran intwo groups. My little brother and my second oldestbrother was with me, the rest was on their own. As wewere moving (the group that i was in) the terriblething happened. We came across this street and wecrossed it and walled on the other side of it.

Therewere houses on both sides of the tree and up like 10meters there were a big tree. when we reached near it, there was a old man who was seating in a chairaffront his house "I assumed" then a bomb or a luncheror something, was dropped in the tree which at themoment was like 3 meters away from us.

At the moment, the old guy had jumped out of the chair and my big brother was pushing a bike which was carrying stuffand my brother ( He could walk because he got heart inthe leg) then my brother let the bike go right afterthe bomb drop-et. 

My little brother felled in thechair that the old guy was seating in, the old guy hadtook off, and while my brother and started to runaway, my little brother started to scream. You areleaving me. then my brother turned around and carriedhim and we ran. I can not ever forget this moment. See the bomb didn't not explode. People who went backafter the war had ended said that the tree was stillstand and the bomb there and visible as well. We didn't see a thing. we just heard it. And the wholething took seconds. anyways, after 3 weeks separated. We (the children) found etch other. But in themeanwhile, the other set of my siblings, had found myuncle who lived in the same camp that we were in.

So my oldest brother remembered that my father alwaystold them about our uncle who lived on thee other endof zaire. And thats where we headed. after we gotthere like 2 weeks later my parents came there aswell. They knew that its were we could had been sincethey told my brothers about it all the time. "We werelooking throughout dead people while running away tosee if we could find any of you but thank god that youall are doing great" my parents said while greetingus. The next day we took the boat and headed totanzania. Where we live d in a refugee camp called Muyovozi camp located in Kasulu Kigoma , Tanzania.
