Jan 21-23 Never Again-Rwanda Pics from Genocide Memorial & Museum

The National Stadium where 10,000 who fled there for refuge were gunned down.

Dedication of Campaign Against Genocide Museum
It reads: "We honor the brave  sons and daughters of the Rwandan Patriotic Front 
whose fight against injustice liberated Rwanda and ended the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.
Your sacrifice is the seed from which our dignified nation grows."

This woman was a Traditional Healer. The Genocide soldiers were afraid of her.
She threatened evil spirits and they stayed away. She housed  and saved 100 Tutsis.
