Summary
A refugee's journey from war in Sudan to a secure life in the Central African Republic.
View moreView lessDescription
After more than 1,000 days of war in Sudan, millions have been uprooted.
This is the story of one of them.
"Nafeesa," as we call her, fled the violence and found refuge across the border, in the town of Birao, in the Central African Republic. With support from the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), she and her family secured shelter and began rebuilding their lives alongside the host community.
Security in the border area is reinforced by the UN peacekeeping mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA), which conducts patrols and supports local stability efforts.
Nafeesa recounts what she has endured – and how, in exile, she found a strength more powerful than any weapon of war.
