There's only one animal that can do that,” is one of the men listening to her confession, reports “Sky News”, report Periscope.
The little girl who has not yet reached adulthood lives in a large tent camp in Bunia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, with 10,000 people leaving their homes.
Her family suffers from untold trauma. Her village was attacked, her houses were burned, and her neighbors were slaughtered.
About two months ago, they lived in Andro in the Ngugugus district of the province of Ituri when nearly 80 attackers landed in the community to cause slaughter.
The girl's father says about 40 villagers were killed. According to him, there may be more victims.
“They had machet knives, guns, arrows and trucks with weapons,” he says.
He insisted that the rapists came from the Ledu tribe, while the campers came from the Hamas.
His oldest daughter was sleeping when two attackers came to attack him.
He says that the little girl wakes up often in the evening, while other family members are also fearful.
Congo is described by numerous conflicts from rampant corruption to ethnic divisions, often described as the largest humanitarian crisis in the world by the United Nations./Periscopi/
