any violence of armed groups after troops from chad were accused of killing civilians. this is the latest in a series of violence and incidence that involved chadian troops in the c.a.r. >> it appears that they would come in to try to evacuate remaining chadian, possibly other muslims who are in this area, who are very much themselves under attack from the anti-balacka. so the chadian army has in the past come in, and in fact, they've saved many lives by taking people out who are clearly in danger. but this time for some reason they just started shooting civilians, men, women, children in the marketplace on a sunny afternoon. >> the chadian prime minister, however, said the allegations is
9:09 am
offensive, and that, in fact, his troops have to be thanked to try to stop the violence in central african republic. >> in the face of this unspeakable attitude which is an insult t the government has decided to withdraw our contingent. i would like to remind those who seem to have forgotten if the pre-planned genocide did not come to fruition as planners wished, it was because of chadians. >> almost 1 million people mostly belonging to the tutsi minority were massacred during a genocide. mohammed met one survivor who is determined to keep the legacies alive. a warning this report does contain scenes that viewers may find disturbing.

9:12 am
backward is simply not an option. >> the genocide of 1994 will always remain in our memories, but they can't stop us from moving forward and build a bright future. this is the legacy of with one we have of leadership. >> rwanda's progress is partly due to financial aid from western countries. people are hard at work developing software and computer applications. they say that through technology rwandaens can pull themselves out of poverty. one of the things that caused the genocide in the first place. >> joining us live from the capitol. no doubt a very somber day right across the country today, but how is the nation marking the 20th anniversary of the genoci genocide? >> reporter: well, indeed, a very somber mood here in rwanda
9:13 am
as people mark the death of nearly a million people. 20 years ago, what happened in 1994 kicks off this afternoon with the lighting of the commemoration flame which is going to happen at one of the sites where some of the worst massacres of genocide happened here. it was one of the technical schools here which was a base for u.n. peace keepers, and it's going to climax into a celebration of an event that is going to be held at this tribute here on monday, the 7th. now this is a period that the people of rwanda really dread. those who can afford to get out of the country because of the messages on the media, people recounting what they have faced, and getting all those floods of
9:14 am
memories coming back. to discuss this further i'm joined by a human rights lawyer and activist in rwanda. thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you. >> now i've spoken to rwandaens who break down and cry when they start telling you what they've been through. they have a long way to go. >> oh, most definitely. there is a long way to go. you have spoken people who break down and cry. we have learned not to get people to cry because you do not want to work up these memories with people. you take the information that they give but their families, and you don't ask questions beyond that because the moment you do they start getting emotional and start recounting these stories, and it effects your discussion or business you're conducting together from that moment on. >> indeed, in terms of reconciliation a lot has been
9:15 am
done. but again, there are people who live side by side, the people who killed their families, they live side by side wit. so how much reconciliation has taken place. >> i think telling the message over and over and over again and heal people, i don't know when that is going to be, but for now steps have been taken, and as you have said people are living side by side. that's a really good step. you have to speak with each other, you have to work with each other, that has been achieved. now to the point where there is final reconciliation. some will pick up faster than others. some will heal more than others,
9:16 am
and i'm afraid some will never heal. >> the symbol of the failure of the international community to intervene and stop the killing. wouldn't they feel abandoned by the international community in the hour of their greatest need. >> there is a shame in this. it did happen, but rwandaens have drawn learning from it. the learning is we have ou ourselves to get out of our problems. some international community help comes, and it has to come in and fit with the plan we have for ourselves. it's driven--to understand that they have themselves to count on when it comes to events. >> thank you very much.
9:17 am
human rights lawyer and activist here. back to you. >> mohammed, thank you very much for that. reporting for us. moving on chinese state media is reporting that a ship has detected a pulse signal in the search for th the missing malayn airliner. a black box detecter has picked up that signal but authorities have determined whether it's related to the 370 flight which went missing almost a month ago. the international search efforts spans a large area including the southern indian ocean. >> today chinese patrol ship discovered a pulse signal with the pregnanc frequency in the sn indian association with a black box locater. it's hard to determine if it's related to the missing 370
9:18 am
flight. >> joining us on skype from machinmanchester. thank you for joining us on the show. now we have a possibility of a pulse signal that has been detected. let's clear this up. could this be from anything else apart from a black box. >> well, you know, it seems unlikely that this could be anything other than a black box because of the frequency that it's been heard from, 37.5 kilohertz is the frequency used for pingers from black boxes specifically. so on the face of it, no, but there are some other issues that are cropping up with this story at the moment. those include, for example, the location that this pinger sound
9:19 am
has been heard from. somewhat north of the search area that's been predicated today. and that giving the reports an air of doubt at the moment. but having said all of that, you know, it gives us at least a glimmer of hope. >> it certainly does. but just remind us again, chris, remind us the significance of the black box, why is it so important to recover it? >> it's vital to recover it because the black boxes, there are two of them, give a lot of information to the resize circumstances of the issuin incf the crash. it's imperative that we recover them.
9:20 am
the data, for instance, records a lot of of the perimeter, the technical detail of the air crash, the voice recorder, of course, only records a couple of hours of voice material before it starts to rewind on itself and record over it again. >> it has been said that a black box has a natural shelf life. give that the plane disappeared on march 8th. what is the possibility of that black box continue to go send out signals. >> that's the $60,000 question. the black box has a shelf life really of 30 days before the battery will start to gradually run down. we're on 28 days now. the possibility is that that battery will be in its final state of charge, if you will. so the power continuing to
9:21 am
decrease, and with it the range of the pinger will start to decrease as well. >> chris, great talking to you. thank you so much for that. crazy yates, an independent aviation analyst speaking to us from manchester. >> still to come on this news hour, what former u.s. president george w bush has been doing in his spare time? we'll preview some of his art work. and mongolians are willing to tie themselves in nottinghamm fosters for international recognition. and in sports can manchester city hold their nerve as the lead goes down to the wire. we have all the details coming up. >> the egyptian military says it has restored order after tribal

9:35 am
international powers involved it is very important to first have a strong position before sitting at the negotiation table. otherwise a lot of gains of the past decade will be at stake. so a lot of people in afghanistan feel this way, that we have to negotiate with the taliban from a strong position. that remains to be seen if the next president can bring afghanistan in the state to that strong position in terms of reducing corruption within the system. in terms of increasing services to the citizens, and gaining a more popularity among people, and also how they can convince regional powers namely pakistan,
