Thousands in eastern DRC are fleeing after M23 rebels ordered them out of displacement camps. A Sake resident, Bandu Munda, recalls fleeing in 2023, losing everything to war.
Returning home, he finds his house damaged and looted but prefers staying over camp life. Fears persist due to leftover ordnance and the absence of authorities.
He urges fighters to resolve the conflict, as civilians suffer without understanding the war’s purpose.
