"God has done a miracle for me. Today we are together. I can say that I'm very happy."
For the first time in five years, Congolese refugee Mwenebatu Mwenemkamba is hugging his wife and son â the emotional reunion marking the start of their new life together in America.
"I mean. I want to tell him I love him so much," said Mapenzi Mweniake moments after reunifying with her husband.
For more than 20 years, Mwenemkamba and Mapenzi Mweniake lived in a refugee camp in Tanzania after fleeing war and ethnic cleansing in the Congo. Their son Mussa was born there.
