Today marks the
18th anniversary of the beginning of the Rwandan genocide. For 100
days, Tutsis and moderate Hutus were systematically murdered, beginning in
Kigali and spreading throughout the entire country. Despite nearly two decades
of reconciliation work from the grassroots level and government statements that
the nation is “reconciled,” there are still deep wounds from this atrocity. Our
hearts are with the people of Rwanda today as they commemorate this important
anniversary.
