Fatimé, revisited.

I can hardly believe my own eyes, sitting on a straw mat in the shade of a mango tree in Southern Chad. I have been here before, two years ago, when tens of thousands of refugees from the Central African Republic fled violence after a political coup in their home country. The local community here in Gore in Southern Chad embraced them with open arms, hearts and room to set up their tents.
