Oumar Cissé, 42, was a motorbike mechanic in Douanza â a town in the Mopti region currently controlled by the Mujao â when Islamists, including people he grew up with, began terrorising the local people.
"Ordinary people I have known all my life, who I used to sit down and drink tea with, joined the Islamists and killed their own neighbours," said Cissé. "I cannot join them â I just want to live a normal life and educate my children. I fled here with my two wives and 11 children."
Cissé, a Bella â the ethnic name used for black Tuaregs â said conditions in the camp were almost unbearable. He is one of the minority of internally displaced people living in official government accommodation, which he said was heavily overcrowded.
