Magda, Age 9 — “There was a plane. This is the village burning. We took some water and were running. This Janjaweed came and took our camel away. I saw him. We ran to the wadi [riverbed, or oasis], and we climbed into a tree to hide. Then we ran in the night.” Magda’s mother, Khadijah, added, “If we can go back to Sudan, that would be good, but we have no home. Our village was burned to the ground.”
