The FDLR claim to live in harmony with the locals, but in truth they are an occupying force with no intention of leaving: "We don't want to give them our fields or food, they just take them". Despite a lack of weapons and ammunition, local youths are trying to respond to the threat posed by the FDLR. The tiny UN force here is unable to. "One woman was raped and her eyes were put out", say the visibly-shaken local boys of Kimua, who have formed a self-defence group. Yet there is not much they can do against the well-armed militia and the community is never safe from attack. "We live in terrible fear", one villager says. Whatever the future holds, for now Kimua is FDLR territory.
