As she saw dead bodies of some innocent people
In east of D.R.Congo before sleeping,
she had a nightmare.
Seeing some goons
wearing dangerous masks with guns
attacking her family.
She screamed for help and no one came.
So the bandits killed them so badly.
She was so confused,
crying for losing some relatives.
Woke up morning frighten terrible,
thought of some bad things
to happen to her family members.
Her husband tried to clean her mind.
reminded her about the last news of the war
in east of DRC which could be the cause of that nightmare.
some terrorists cut some people with bush knives.
Some civilians stood to defend themselves
as they suspected the complicity
of the international community...
supporting the rebels M23 and others
behind the troops from East African Community
in northern KIVU
to fulfil to balkanise D.R .Congo
into many countries
Which many Congolese
hate the most.
