Stories that you confided to us
Residents of Tonenke suffer from heart attacks, strokes, cancer. They lose their sight and hearing. The sounds of gunshots and explosions, the type of destruction have a very negative effect on mental health.
I had two strokes in a week. My wife has had the same three times, and her doctors have literally set her on her feet. We see a dime a dozen of such victims in Tonenke.
We live the way we can. A day has passed - thank God for that. A neighbour would come out, shouting, "Neighbour! Are you alive?!" I go out and respond. That is how we communicate - through shootout.
Now there is a chance for a better life – we have gradually started to restore the pig farm. So maybe people will have jobs.
