the young people clearly have the solution. the future is 77 percent every weekend on dw the this, the state of the news that for the coming up on the program, 800000 people murdered in just a 100 days, 3 decades off to the one didn't genocide. can they ever be completely reconciliation? it was mass killing, ordered from the top, meticulously planned and executed without embarrassed to things. and margaret horses master could with machetes by vigilantes that broke brooks with husbands even killing their wives. many flip to churches hoping to find sanction. but there was none, we made sense how to manage to escape the killing in

a church that became a mess burial ground. and we told for one didn't full make those who discovered the colonial roots of the genocide, how germany and belgium sees and used one to at the start of the 20th century. sewing the seas of division and deliberate, taught us of divide the hello. i'm christina. welcome to this special edition of the program. we're looking back at the 1994 genocide in one to the east african nation is mocking 30 years since the start of a 100 day mess because in which 800000 people were slaughtered. the killings were mostly carried out by extreme is from the country's majority. if any quotas against

the influential minority towards the population but also moderate horses. here's a reminder of how this bruce whole civil conflict shocked the world. and just to warn you, much of what you're about to see is distressing. april 1994 and a plane carrying lawanda is presidents. just bermonte and counts of parties shut down. it will kick all the juvenile happy you. ramona, and slippery and a hatch shamira. a kilt along with everyone on board. but i just meant to ask nick hutus the next day, the genocide begins over 100 days. games have many who to extreme is slow to hundreds of thousands, mostly ethnic tutsis, orchestrated by the rewan denobia militia. neighbors turning on neighbors with the clubs submission these thousands heads of churches. many up to being offered

assurances that they would be safe. but nowhere is safe cheese. the lights are recognized as the science of numerous mass killings. the extreme threat to life pushes masses of people to one does board is sexual violence is also used as a weapon with as many as 250000 women raped during the genocide behind the buns. the violence subpacket for power between one. this ruling, hutus and the tootsie dominated lawanda patch. you all take front rebel, great for the mass magic eventually coming to an end. we now p. f fights has reached the capital pic, ali, and july 19. 94 may have led by poll coming. the wind is coming presidents in the days that followed up and takes control of the country,

arresting those accused of being involved in the genocide over the years since tens of thousands of, of london's have been convicted. but 100 small suspects are still at large. ringback the numbers of the data are impossible to comprehend. take the example of the yeah, my to genocide memorial sites. a single church with 5000 people limited over the course of 3 days. c w's. mario miller reports from the side of one of the worst mess because of the genocide it's not often that sometimes finds the strings to come here to a former church. now a memorial to the rhonda genocide, she says this is the place where she refused to die. oh, cool, cool. now, i'm going to tim, were you coming back to this place 30 years later? i think it is still a big wound,

but it helps me to remember many of the people who died here called into a hush. the belongings are still here, frozen in time. and each piece tells the tale. a person's elbows tightly tied behind their back before being executed, toddlers killed with their parents. the killings that started a few days earlier, many to 2 families, including some talent, had children suited refuge here. thinking that be safe, it looks like it looks like i'm a good and not the 1st stay through grenades into the church and many people lost their legs. i was so much screaming. those who tried to leave the church were hacked with machetes, please of century and into a burial ground. the remains of more than 45000 people rest at the memorial side. someone display a reminder of domestic shantelle

managed to escape, a judge was injured. and we fled to a nearby school when i felt something hit me in the mouth and other parts of my body where i was holding my kids. i think it was a grenade. then i saw that one of my babies had been killed. and that 8 or she had a nearby bushes at the end, at a home with the who to initiate committing the genocide found her attack to her with a machete to a rock. i to her head. the friend lying next to her hiding under banana leaves was done to life safety. when one does, when he came back, often they rammed his spear and to me, mocking us saying, you cockroach has don't die easily. i stayed in there for some time. my wounds were rod and comedy had maggots falling out of them. days later has been found and brought to safety, 30 kilometer south east. another community is trying to reconcile with the past and

move the move in its form, the perpetrators and the families of the victims, left side by side mean noises. 2 brothers and a cousin were killed during the genocide. these could not be valuable, brutally killed hacked. here and here in the head, in the throat, all parts of the body shred it is the bible and my dug brothers. i love the hands that would have supported me down as the man who killed them simply i'm at that bottle was tried and one of wanda's poles genocide, tribunals, and spent 12 years in prison. on his release, he asked to be useful forgiveness and she accepted. now the regularly participate in group activities together with other former perpetrators and victims. it's all part of a government program to create unity among brandons and re establish trust following the genocide that split communities would. would that work for sion tied to could

see, forgive her attackers and killers for baby? good question. we have a good country and that has brought us together and we love each other. but it does not rule out the possibility that there could still be remnants of genocide audiology in some people's hearts. you can't see and people's heart, this isn't all day long for her son was killed during the genocide would now be a grown like other kids. and finish up some kind of hopes that generation would be able to put the genocide and the divisions of the past behind them. or at some say the desire to overcome division has come at a cost. polk odami has played a leading role in run to since 1994 becoming president in 2000. and there are no signs. he intends to go opposition. vida, vic swat and go. b ray is one of click on this fits this chris x database, maureen, let us sit down with her and gully and us. how fall has one become since the

genocide with president to come me? he, i say or was the he was the deadline to pay this on to the right to mention that it is, it was, he was the mind. that's the one that needed to of the genocide by to today actively to use. i think that's we need the new fresh bromwoods in order that in the session so, but afraid nothing of it but to you there is some activities in to this and a new beer didn't give me to that to you kind of see that to me. they was so much of a man to me to getting bought into hot. we need to, to be, to also they have to for one day. so that's, that's why i say it's a few years. because what we actually have an adverb that didn't get a course of the ition is the sources we need to have along the way to go. so what is needed in order to achieve that reconciliation? what's needed is to to cannot as to autumn one eyes or is 30. i said one does as one admissions, because on to 2 days or, or it's not that that is $35.00. our country divides off onto today before the

genocide that gets it to cease. and during the genocide in the after the genocide that are so kind of guessing you might need to commit to it as simple as those of victims until today. no. but just talk about it, but they have a lot of tapes and they know that these they need to whom to express the fine affinity cooper credit. we've talked to that to we've had to to 6 and you've been a long time critic of president for cut on the end of government. you also challenge the official narrative as it just mentioned, of the genocide. what happened before and during the genocide. so could you, if plane of its size, what do you mean by that? what kind of atrocities or crimes against humanity has been committed when they total the kind of get some money. they talk about the number of citizens where the kids, when day was due and in the, for just comp inside the land. when did they was in de homes? when did they home sort of destroyed and do and kids summer,

so address and mobile den committed to those crimes. and if i say to they say you got a full rise policy middle on that, that is in the choose that is it over the auditability yet it's for wanda. if we need to really to bid and nation to have is to send a bit of the government, we've come to have it. so spend a bit of development if we are not the north trust a month, as i said, one downs. because we need before to be one in nations. why? where you bought from the next election? because i was going down by one the quotes, even if the after can the court has cleared to my name, but did want a government refused to, to colonize this, the decision of the one that i quotes and a they bundle mid to best fits into election do you think that is out of 5th, because you are dangerous with the government during the party or say the to day candidates because the company is so popular among the london and the i see if you,

he's so popular. why do you order for that to be new competition? we, for someone that says, i don't a lot or understand why do to susie me to participate in the edison bought the story short. the answer is that they know if i'm going to in the competition for london, run down, submitted new, fresh a blog and they, they know that they can easily with extra. and this is why they bundle me to best. thank you so much. you have come one didn't so make of samuel issue with parents were killed in the genocide. he was 2 years old at the time and saved by his many. he's recently co produced a documentary where he sold to understand what led to the mass murder. i'll be talking to simulation with off to this except off his phone, which is called reclaiming history. the colonial roots of the genocide in rwanda as

the this is around a 1000. the hillsburg dies, the country i was born in 30 years ago when i was 2 years old. the genocide was committed here. my parents and the big spots of my family. what killed i'm on a journey to find out about the rest of the 1994 genocide against the to see and rhonda. my name is some way to ship where i'm assuming the flow of my parents killed near the gym by the militia. but i didn't know why. and as a kid, i just thought he was wor between us $0.13. we asked impressions to my family and reading books. and yeah, that's what, that's how our side understanding our kid with children because of their customers are too close to to see if we speak to some language. showed us some culture, some conference. how do we become,

what was the identity before germans and virgins jim to put a nice run at the end of the match, essentially. what divided us to talking to a sales, or was it the to see twice, already existed before community it is around one percent of london's called themselves, twice the colonizers defend them as picking these natives who lived here before the who to and to it's just going to collect a proof of do it to, to, to, to a phone, to speak, dressing, you know, in the service ship. then when a, this was like 1 o'clock the to doesn't, the sunday. so, so high of the meaning of, for to, to, to, to are infrequently or rhonda, this is debated among custodians to visit when they apply that to me or to,

to cisco s good on project of a more sort of if you have tablets and no one separate community, basically. so you've got to use the shockey 15 wheel presumptive sequences also around directly to the way us it, it makes it is a party to, to other t touch it to you need to do is also going to swap the ebc isn't too good to, to see that what the deal is going to press the ideology of damage. the commission was introduced to run the at the end of next century by european researches, the colquitt, that's the, to see quite a so called negro home bytes. collab integrated from the north end admitted to this of course, the indigenous, which was for hundreds of years the as i was researching for this firm, i came across the recent german run and started the refill that knew it around 900

human scholars kept in germany there west tongue from rhonda in 19071908. most of them are appropriate to buy an actual purchase to named youngest you kind of skipped for over a 100 years. nobody knew one then knew about the existence of these 2 months because the, those who minded administrative b is used for plus find a good one. that's just to prove that there is a new city in need one and decrease the clues is being the genocide. but better it to the games fit to, to i'm running a lot about how my identity force destroyed, how these divisions came about. a lot of quote recorded history piecing that, the drum and so my next step now would be to go to see for myself

the ability of the significance place for many reasons. first of all, the so called co conference in which africa was divided like a piece of cake and given to colonial powers, took place here in abilene, in 1884, in 1885 parisha furies to divide the humanity of 2 races were very popular. also at the museum for a total director of the african ocean, the documents fixed on lucian, instructed aconia researches to appropriate the mode. the 9000 human remains from germany to put on use most of these calls, but also for skeletons. whatever did that open grace took out, the scouts normally when you just go with this racial studies, measuring the type paulo jesus goes and the rest of the body. but it's not important because you put the detect races when he started and run that ran,

it pointed a finger, i think someone's saying that when the 1st was from use a restaurant, curious on plastering picture, think that somehow in germany it can be held responsible in some type of form of the truth. i do want a 94 in the way. yes. because they brought this distribution in between to see what to question is another one. is it the must that off to this division, which determines brought to run the was it the must that 100 just later? genocide happened. the next step of my journey is belgium. the 1916 dimensions to quote, a new quote for a friend from the germans. jingled one front desk and the machine gun give a 1000 run out of troops to the germans to fight that guess they've been drums. but the builders one day will have to control for under, under the monday affiliate of nations,

systematically dig sort of division to be to, to central, to, according to commission the german just have to go to run the list. so can you tell me to run that so, so that was the initial to be fixed from clear powers was actually, this is to magic dictation. teach this is a george and some if i people induction will cut to these 2 properties that are from different and i am joined institute here by their funding. so make has some real issue with who we just saw in best form of that. it's really good to be talking to, you're welcome to date of me is africa. sam? i was particularly struck in fact, surprised to learn during the documentary that actually the what who to into, to identity was rooted into saw. that was cost. right?

so this was not sort of an ethnic difference between these 2 people's, it was, have and have nots. but as you then take us through this document will be learned that the colonizer has actually pushed the notion that said that there was a difference. yeah, absolutely. that's right, and it's, it's one of the biggest, i think, misconceptions i think in history where you witness profile creation of an identity that is not there before in which i read the course of course as a new one, the inbound in some of the original countries and yeah, in many of the general defense, we to go to the, to the source of that of when did this difference come from? yeah, so we, so you traveling across rwanda coming to your number of countries here as well. you missed a lot of people. you spoke to a lot of people, lot of research went into this by the end of the project. what was the one thing you would have said stuck with you?

so we'd have to tell because a lots today just in this, in this uh process. uh, but i think one of the biggest thing that stuck with me is there is look to that's the was a creation of from the skis and glenda. and of course, there was any casual actually occurred on your intention, equity, a project to actually push a different system from the creating differences, but also to politically push differences and to make these people seem to have been different. and that was for me there and they said that the biggest thing that it was look in the state was a lot like just the actual project on the stage was a really a political. we are divided people. yes. we race track, striking to discover that. yeah, because we have people in the arguments about colonialism. you hear people making the points and you highlight this as well. that, oh, but colonialism wasn't all that bad. it brought civilization. there it's, it's really stupid the arguments because that clinician position was ordered by the starts today with all that's introduced to actually dealing with the consequences

of that. it's lucky to only the genocide in rwanda, even today and 2024 seem dealing with that's we come to borders. identities, destruction of casual structures. duties of that is something that still has shows consequences on the african continents to that. so i don't, i don't see any positive outcome from cremation or examination was there before. no san your parents were both killed. you are 2 years old and that time a lot of your family members would to, the city is on. right. i'm just wondering what more you feel like you lost me, but also way you are at, in the sort of like the healing process. what would you say that today? city is on as a parent yourself, that when you're at peace with what happened that you've, we all you, in, in this whole like process of having to confront what happened. and then also

having to move on. it's, it's, it's a, it's a very interesting thing because people from a generation where there was a young thing, the genocide is now and today that's where are those that was just starting to confront that history. i mean, there's a generation of people who lived, it's an over the time, hadn't had the time to we under a move on from me or dealing with it and for other things starting now. that's what adults that you having to talk about on the subject. mostly now dealing with all of this, so i'll say, i don't know it and we try to move on of course and be positive in the countries moving on. but on the personal and emotional level, if something that is pure, it'd be a big thing to explore and to do it on a daily basis. so i think it's an ongoing gap or journey with the, with the heating. yeah. yeah. well, thank you for taking us on that journey with you. i thought the film was a standard, a standard projects and we just learned so much about what happened and you'll kind of for you and how it is still

a real present reality today. so thank you so much for coming into. thank you very much. and that is it for now be sure to check out our other stories on dw dot com. forward slash africa were also on social media. now you may have noticed the plaintive music and the phone or the that was sophie zeiss saying, the singing, the song for wanda wolf here it is in full and we'll see you next time by as the the. a the
