[UNHCR] In Kaya, a bustling town in Burkina Faso’s Centre-North region, Sonia Nikiema’s life is a testament to resilience amidst adversity. At 28, she has already endured more than most. Originally from Kelbo, a rural village in the Sahel’s Soum province, Sonia was forced to flee her home three years ago with her husband and two young daughters after their village was attacked by armed groups.
