In April 1994,
long-standing tensions between Hutus and Tutsis, the
two main ethnic groups in the African state of
Rwanda, exploded when the plane of Juvenal
Habyarimana, the Hutu president, was shot down. A
Hutu militia - along with thousands of ordinary
Hutus - massacred more than 800,000 Tutsis in 100
days – the fastest genocide in modern history. But
when the exiled Tutsi-led Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF)
returned to the country as many as two million
Hutus, fearing reprisals, fled across the border to
the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo). Sixteen
years on, many of those Hutus want to return home as
part of a reconciliation and repatriation programme
sponsored by the UN and the Rwandan government. But
what sort of welcome awaits them? We followed some
refugees as they returned to Rwanda and saw the
fascinating stories that unfolded. |
