How much has changed since that tragic night of June 13, 2025? Have the survivors of the massacre found healing and security, or are they still trapped by fear, poverty and painful memories? JOHN CHARLES visited Yelewata on Saturday and reports on a community still searching for answers
In Yelewata, memories do not live in photographs alone; they stand in burnt walls, empty compounds and the tears of survivors who still struggle to understand why hundreds of their neighbours never lived to see another sunrise.
The tears came without warning.
Standing before the charred remains of a house in Yelewata, Saaondo, a middle aged man, could no longer hold back the memories.

But for him, the tragedy was not history; it was a wound that reopened with every glance at the ruins.
