Truth that Fights

In 1994, I lived through the state-led genocide that targeted the Tutsi population in Rwanda, resulting in over one million brutal deaths. The country was plunged into darkness for 100 days, with no hope in sight. But I emerged from the tragedy alive, and this book is my account of the journey through the valley of death.

As one of the survivors, I share my experience of the genocide and how I managed to stay alive despite being engulfed in fear and despair. Waiting in the "antechamber of death" with other Tutsi people, I hoped for a divine rescue. My strong will and survival tactics helped me to stay alive, and I eventually moved to the UK to rebuild my life.

Through this book, I want to ensure that future generations never forget the atrocities that occurred during the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda: My intention is not just to tell my story but to pay tribute to all those who suffered and were unable to share their own stories. My hope is that by sharing my story, we can collectively work towards ensuring that such a tragedy never happens again.
