Farida Muarabu and her family fled into the forest as the jihadists attacked her village. Around 2,300 people have died, many of them poor villagers, and some half a million people have fled their homes. By good luck, Falume found her husband on the beach and the family boarded a small boat heading south. Living with her mother, Muarabu is still traumatised by her chaotic escape. The family fled into the forest, but in the thick of the night became separated from each other.
