Event description
25 Years Later - Revisiting the Genocide Against the Tutsi in Rwanda
Survivors Speak at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights in Atlanta, Georgia.
Twenty-five years ago, during 100 days starting in April 1994, the hills of the tiny African country of Rwanda ran red with blood. The well-organized genocide of the Tutsi by Hutu extremists left more than 1 million Tutsi dead. Fear and propaganda incited ordinary people to murder their neighbors, workmates, and fellow churchgoers. Most victims were butchered or maimed by machetes, clubs and other weapons of war, including savage rape.
The killers carried lists of those marked for death. Tharcisse Seminega, a Tutsi professor at the University of Rwanda in Butare, and his family narrowly escaped the machetes. Charles Rutaganira, who lived in the capital Kigali, did not. Attackers slashed him in the neck and left him for dead in a heap of corpses. He survived.
