"I came to the US as a refugee in 1994. There was a genocide against Tutsis in Rwanda; and when the killers were stopped in Rwanda, they were pushed into the Congo, and the killing continued. In 1995 I fled to Rwanda. During that time, I saw two movements of refugees: refugees that are moving from Rwanda into the Congo, and the Congolese that are also fleeing into Rwanda. So I became a refugee that way. I lived in a refugee situation in Rwanda, for about six years until 2001.”
