‘FRACTURED LIVES’
the aftermath of genocide



Between April and July 1994, Rwanda witnessed a frenzied 100 days of mass killings, rampant rape and numerous other horrific acts by the Hutu extremist Interahamwe. An estimated one million unarmed Tutsi civilians were slaughtered. This genocide was one of the defining events of the twentieth century. 2014 marks the 20th anniversary of the genocide war.

Since the genocide, Rwanda and its citizens have made remarkable progress in re-establishing normality. Yet communities across Rwanda remain divided and fragmented, still dealing with the social, psychological and economic impacts of the genocide.

The NGO International Alert, created a pioneering programme for conflict reconciliation - with the idea that the daunting task of rebuilding the fractured lives post-conflict would have to be holistic – to include all individuals affected by the genocide from the ex-prisoners, combatants, survivors through to young people growing up during the reconstruction of their country. The programme focuses on uniting a divided fragmented society with an emphasis to address the psychological trauma and the economic void that is omnipresent post conflict. These are their stories, lest we forget their quest for peace in the aftermath of a brutal war.

“Surviving is to learn how to live again”
- Rwandese genocide survivor
