He starts taking precautions and making plans to evacuate them to safety. However, before they can leave, the violence spills over to Burundi, forcing them to abandon their home and flee.
Amidst the chaos, Gabriel's family faces numerous challenges as they navigate their way through an increasingly dangerous and hostile environment. They encounter roadblocks, violence, and the constant threat of being separated or targeted due to their mixed ethnic backgrounds.
