"In 2007, during these events, men came to our home to take our daughter. Of course we gave them everything so that we could keep our child.'
Another woman said
"My children, a boy and a girl were taken by the Presidential Guard and my husband, too. My brother was upset so he followed them. The Presidential Guard cut his throat. Six months later my daughter escaped-just one month ago she returned. We had to take her to the hospital because she had been raped. She has been in the hospital ever since.
"The security in Paoua is improved because of all the white faces that came here. If we were to tell you all we have suffered we would be here a long time."
After a silence, a third woman spoke.
"The most important thing we can have is peace. I am a widow. My husband was killed. But for my children I hope for peace. Thanks to you aid workers we can hope."
