31 years ago, on us, darkness fell. But from the ashes, we rose and chose light. We remember the Genocide against the Tutsi. We honor the resilience. We stand together. Kwibuka means to remember, but it also means to Learn. To Heal. To Rebuild. #Kwibuka31

Today's Meet an SBC PGR: @MissParsisson! Georgia's research is a social history of child perpetrators of the Genocide Against the Tutsi in Rwanda through an analysis of how the children became introduced to violence, the violence they committed and the aftermath and punishment.
Today marks 30 years since RTLM began broadcasting across Rwanda. An important date in the genocide timeline…
These are principal donors who helped establish the venomous Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines (RTLM) that mobilized Hutus to kill their Tutsi neighbors before and during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. Asked to jam the radio, the United States refused saying that decision would endanger democracy in Rwanda. Me, I call it demo-crazy. #Kwibuka29
