Calistus Nche was shot by government troops in 2022 while fighting for a separatist cause. His wife, Morine Ngum, reveals he felt compelled to join due to threats from fighters.
Sonita Kum remembers her husband, a prison officer killed in the civil war, stating, 'I felt like my world collapsed... Life is meaningless without him,' highlighting the personal toll of systemic violence.
