30 Years after the genocide, mass graves are still discovered

April 07, 2024

Exactly 30 years ago, a genocide commenced in the Central African country Rwanda. In just a hundred days, over 800 thousand Tutsis and moderate Hutus were murdered. For de Volkskrant newspaper, photographer Sven Torfinn and I made a tour through the country to find out: is there reconciliation? What does the discovery of a mass grave do to a community? And why is the government so strict when it comes to who can and cannot be remembered during the annual Kwibuka commemoration? The answers to these questions can be found by tapping on this link. Or listen to the Elke Dag podcast.
