Ntarama and Nyamata - 1994 Rwandan Genocide

Ntarama and Nyamata are the sites of two Catholic Churches in Rwanda which now serve as memorials to the heinous Rwandan Genocide of 1994. Freddy, from East Africa Eco Explorer tour company, took me 30km outside of Kigali - the capital of Rwanda - to the location of these harrowing sites where thousands of Rwandans were murdered.
A sign at Ntarama that reads: "If you knew me and you really knew yourself, you would not have killed me."

The images and video speak for themselves.

  1. What an insightful comment from that sign. I don't think we can truly understand why it happened.
