Children: Mahoro and Refugee Camp

children: Every day I check the mail to see if I got some good news, and every day I'm disappointed.'- Anitha Mahoro Mahoro ended up in Ottawa in September 2016, but left her husband and three children behind in a refugee camp in Rwanda, according to CBC. We had a house, we used to be a regular family. Anitha Mahoro fled Burundi after her cousin, Burundian state TV reporter Christophe Nkezabahizi, Nkezabahizi's wife and two children were shot dead by police in 2015 as violence flared over the controversial re-election of President Pierre Nkurunziza. One morning everything went away. Everything changed in my life, said Mahoro. Now I have nothing not my husband, not my children. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
