My Real Life Experience

I was born in Tanzania right after the war. Before I was born, my parents had lived in the Mtabila Refugee Camp in Kasulu, Tanzania, for 4 years. My father is from Burundi but he grew up in Democratic Republic of the Congo and my mother is also Burundian but she was born in Congo. My parents met in Tanzania after the war and they got married there. The war forced them to leave their homes and come to Tanzania.
In Rwanda and Burundi, the Tutsis and the Hutus had been fighting and killing each other for many years. Most of the people had to leave their homes. Some of the Tutsis went to Burundi and Congo. The Hutus came into Burundi to fight the Tutsis. My father and my mother's parents were refugees from Burundi that went to Congo. They did not know each other then.
In Congo, the Mai Mai, groups of people who fought together, attacked Hutus and Tutsis, forcing them out of their country. My mother and father met in Tanzania after they had left Congo. There was fighting also.
