The traumatic aftermath of the genocide

Post-Genocide Ethnicism

A destructured population

The genocide has resulted in a very large number of orphans and of widows. The survivors must live amid the former killers. HIV infection and cases of AIDS are now high.

Survivor associations

Population displacement in Rwanda and in neighbouring counries

Refugee camp in Zaire, 1994

The fight against genocide fighters infiltrating into Rwanda

After the RPF forces invaded from Uganda, millions of Hutus fled the country into Zaire (now DR Congo), afraid of revenge killings. In Zaire, they settled into huge refugee camps, and the international community, feeling guilty at its inaction, tried to compensate by giving aid to these refugees, while ignoring the survivors in Rwanda. Meanwhile, the Hutu power ideology was reborn in the camps, and soon armed Hutu extremists were raiding the Tutsis left in Rwanda of their cattle and lives. This went on for 5 years until the RPF, now a relatively democratic government, was forced to invade Zaire and disband the camps. However, Hutu power rebels still live in Zaire and still kill Rwandans.
