It is now 30 years since the Rwandan genocide, when hundreds of thousands of Tutsis were killed by Hutu militias. Since then, much has been invested in ‘truth and reconciliation’ initiatives within Rwanda. But the region has still not found peace.

This work traces this contemporary history of upheaval, and tells the story of the civilians and soldiers at the heart of this crisis.
