1) For those that struggle with the terminology of the Genocide against the Tutsi, I would like to share the story of Immaculé who is currently serving a sentence of 30 years at Mageragere for committing genocide & hunted down her own two children who were fathered by Tutsi men. ImageImage
2) Immaculé Mujawamariya was a known serial killer in the Masaka-Kanombe area who had a military background as she had completed short military courses at Kanombe Military Barracks. She was known to carry a gun. (Pistol) Image
3) Immacule’s son fled to the DRC camps with his grandmother but when he met his mother in DRC, she tortured him and wanted to kill him but the grandmother (who he considers a his real mother, as Immacule is a beast to him) intervened and they returned to Rwanda. #Kwibuka28

The #RwandanGenocide began 28 years ago.

April 7 1994.

One of the worst events in human history.

And one that looms large in my aid-worker family’s psyche

THREAD…with very distressing images

I was home from university for the Easter holidays when the massacres began and I remember my parents and I being transfixed by the news.

They’d been aid-workers for decades.

Dad was with the UN’s refugee agency.

Mum, a child psychologist, worked with child soldiers.
Neither were naïve about the world’s darker corners, but the speed and scale of the savagery in Rwanda left everyone reeling.
