Mariam’s family fled and left the lives they knew behind. They found their way to Krinding displacement camp in Geneina. For twenty years, Mariam and her daughters, sons-in-law and grandchildren tried to move on and start a new life, but life was never the same again.
Over the years, they lost more than one can easily comprehend. Mariam could not afford access to medical care, so she lost her eyesight. Her daughter’s husband attempted to return to their farm to feed their family and was attacked and killed. Sorrow and fear latched onto their lives, and in 2021, they lived their worst nightmare again.
Last year, the conflict in West Darfur escalated, and Krinding camp was attacked. More than 160 people died, and homes were burned. Almost a third of the camp was reduced to ashes. Mariam’s family and over 40,000 people were displaced a second time. They fled into the city of Geneina and took shelter in any open space they could find. Some went into school or university yards, public hospitals and government buildings. Some even stayed in the streets.
