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

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.
