Radia Abdel Aziz, 28, had a good life with her husband, Mahamat, who owned his own auto repair shop. Now she spends her days sitting under a mango tree at the Central Mosque in PK5, one of the last Muslims enclaves in Bangui, looking at old photographs. At the end of December, anti-balaka fighters burst into her home and opened fire as her husband was saying midday prayers. They shot him three times, she said. He tried to run, but his attackers cut him with machetes until he died. She fled to the mosque with other family members. "We sleep on mats on the ground," she said. "When it rains, we all run into the mosque and stand there waiting for the rain to stop. Then we go back out to sleep."
