Nabintu, 43, of Kaziba, South Kivu, was attacked by three Interahamwe rebels in 1996 while she was traveling on a small path just outside the village. She resisted the rebels until they cut her deeply with a knife. Nabintu said that when her husband came to search for her, the same rebels attacked and killed him. She has not remarried and continues to care for the six children they had together. One child currently attends school. The UN reported that knives are the weapon of choice for many rebel groups in eastern Congo because they are silent weapons. Rebels are able to conserve bullets and keep from alerting UN peacekeepers in the area of their attack without the noise of gunfire.
