If you know anything about Rwanda you will probably know about the terrible time the country and people went through during the 1994 genocide and the following side effects both on how the UN resolves suspected genocide and also how a country is able to recover.
Upon arrivals, we saw the messages written on string from family member os the victims as well as the names of some of the people who perished in the genocide. Never again was one of the messages that we kept seeing there and this immediately reminded me of what the allied world leaders said after WWII.
Sadly they are still finding bodies twenty years later and still trying to find burial grounds for them and so here at the memorial there was an open grave where you could see the caskets . Already at the burial site there were 250,000 bodies buried there and the man showing us around said he never expected the numbers would reach such height but what are you to do when the world goes mad and they start doing disrespectful things.
The sunsets in kigali are some of the best in the world i think. Everyday no mater where we were , we looked out to this amazing golden sunset.
I will have to talk to y'all soon/ I have to go to bed now since i have to do my community work tomorrow at 6.30.
T'alk to y'all soon
