I met Masika last month, when our Christian Peacemaker Team traveled to Minova.
Masika was with her husband and two daughters when Nkunda's rebel soldiers
came into her home in Buganga. They shot and killed her husband and
forced her to lie in his blood. Then 14 of the men proceeded to rape
her. They also raped her daughters, one 14 and the other16 years old.Â
Both girls became pregnant from the rapes. Masika reported the rapes to
the police, who did nothing.
