Rwanda Revisited

Back


April 1996 A historic report on how Tutsis are rebuilding their lives after the genocide. In Kigali Tutsis are building a new business community. Once they were aristocrats, then they were exiles, now they are entrepreneurs. Aimable Rumongi, an exile from Nairobi, has arrived in Rwanda for the first time. He shows off his gleaming new sports shop. In a refugee camp on the northern border, amongst endless rows of dirty, blue tents, Jonas Twagirayesu also plans to return home. He and his family fold up their canvas shelter and anxiously climb into the UN trucks. In a dark suit, Major-General Paul Kagame, vice president of Rwanda, maintains that the Hutu refugees are safe to return. He denies an allegation made by the former Minister of the Interior that revenge killings continue to take Place. Back in his home village, Jonas finds that that the roof on his house has sunk to the floor. His fields are overgrown and tangled with weeds. While Aimable and his friends talk of commercial co-operation between the Tutsis and the Hutus, Jonas has more immediate problems. He hopes next month that his banana plants will be free from the weeds.
