An Ethiopian man living in New Zealand who survived last week’s attack on a mosque in Christchurch has told BBC how he managed to stay alive by hiding.
Last Friday, 50 people were killed as two mosques were attacked allegedly by a lone gunman.
‘‘I hid under a shelf which is used to put the Koran on. I lay down and pretended I was dead,’’ Abdulkadir Abba Bora said.
He told BBC Afaan Oromoo service that he thought his life was about to end.
‘‘I was thinking of my wife, my children and I cried. I was praying. Now I feel as if I have a second chance at life.’’
The father of three is still traumatized by the attack.
Two other Ethiopians are known to have been injured.
