May 1994 We look at the aftermath of the genocide which left Rwanda deserted. A skeleton lies in the doorway of an empty home, and in a local hospital wounded children pour out their stories of machete attacks and murder. As a blank-faced woman sits silently nearby, an aid worker tells how she escaped the killing by lying amongst dead bodies for a week. Rwandan Patriotic Front members explain their plans for the future of Rwanda. Their mood is one of reconciliation.

A history of the Rwandan genocide in which the Hutu Racial extremists the Interahamwe systematically slaughtered the Tutsi people and non-racist Hutu's. Told through documentary evidence and interviews with every major figure involved. A gruesome, grotesque and deeply powerful documentary which tells of the horrors of the events and of the reaction to mass murder by each major Western government. To turn away, to not care or to pull support from them. On a personal note I have taken the time to do this as no documentary has meant more to me than this and as Darfur rages on its message has never been more important. For information on Darfur may I recommend and urge you to read "The Death and Rape of Darfur" in the British Journal Of Criminology

In 1959, three years before independence from Belgium, the majority ethnic group, the Hutus, overthrew the ruling Tutsi king. Over the next several years, thousands of Tutsis were killed, and some 150,000 driven into exile in neighboring countries. The children of these exiles later formed a rebel group, the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), and began a civil war in 1990. The war, along with several political and economic upheavals, exacerbated ethnic tensions, culminating in April 1994 in the genocide of roughly 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus. The Tutsi rebels defeated the Hutu regime and ended the killing in July 1994, but approximately 2 million Hutu refugees - many fearing Tutsi retribution - fled to neighboring Burundi, Tanzania, Uganda, and the former Zaire. Since then, most of the refugees have returned to Rwanda, but several thousand remained in the neighboring Democratic Republic of the Congo (the former Zaire) and formed an extremist insurgency bent on retaking Rwanda, much as the RPF tried in 1990. Despite substantial international assistance and political reforms - including Rwanda's first local elections in March 1999 and its first post-genocide presidential and legislative elections in August and September 2003 - the country continues to struggle to boost investment and agricultural output, and ethnic reconciliation is complicated by the real and perceived Tutsi political dominance. Kigali's increasing centralization and intolerance of dissent, the nagging Hutu extremist insurgency across the border, and Rwandan involvement in two wars in recent years in the neighboring Democratic Republic of the Congo continue to hinder Rwanda's efforts to escape its bloody legacy.

July 2007 When the genocide ended, many women formed associations to rebuild their communities. Thirteen years on, these associations have redefined the role of women in Rwandan society. Forty-eight percent of MPs in Rwanda are women -- the highest proportion in the world. "Women are leading everything. We are capable of doing the job", states politician Speciose. In the aftermath of the genocide, she helped found a women's association to rebuild her village. Then they started raising funds for orphans. "After seeing how strong and brave Speciose is, she was made Mayor," explains her friend Daphrose. "Then she was elected for parliament." Women like Speciose are overturning traditional stereotypes. "We used to think the role of women was to cook food but now, women are being recognized." (FRF)
