Understanding Rwanda – Part 1

Tuesday, 26 April 2022 - 8:30am to 9:00am

On today’s program, we look at the country, Rwanda. The period between April 7 and July 4 is known as Kwibuku – it means rememberance. This period marks the 100 days of genocide in 1994 where the Tutsis were targeted by the Hutus. This year is 29 years since the genocide, and Rwanda has been catapulted once again into the international spotlight because of the UK off-shore processing deal that was made with the Rwandan Government.


Yet we know very little about the country, and very little about its people.  Over the next two shows, I will be speaking with Stephanie Kabanyana Kanyandekwe about Rwanda – the legacy of the genocide, how the country is healing, and what things are like today.

Tuesday 8:30am to 9:00am
A program by and about women from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Distributed nationally on the Community Radio Network.
