 Ghudia is a 20 year old girl born and raised in Maiduguri, Nigeria. Her name means “thank you” in the kanouri language.

Three months ago she escaped to Diffa, a town in Niger near the country’s border with Nigeria, with her mother and her six brothers and sisters after her father was killed by two men belonging to Boko Haram, on May 7th of this year.

The men raided her home early in the morning and killed her father after taking all his money and his mobile phone. Ghudia, the eldest of her family, ran after them screaming while the two young men fled laughing.
