Rawanda-RQ-FA10



Primary Source: [|Rwandan Genocide Survivor Recalls Horror] I chose this interview with Immaculee Illibagiza about her experience in the Rwandan genocide. She is telling her story of her escape from the genocide and how she hid in a bathroom with six other women to escape.

Primary Source: [|Sacrifice As Terror: The Rwandan Genocide of 1994] I chose this book as a primary source because it is the story of a man who survived the genocide of 1994. It talks about what he witnessed during the massacre along with his own opinion about why it was stared. Also it interested me because it has the interviews of other people that he escaped with and talks about Rwanda just hours before the genocide.

Artifact: [|An Eye Blind To Murder] This artical interested me because it is about what the United states government did and didn't do in response to the start of the genocide in 1994. It also talks about why we did not intervien and end the genocide sooner. There are also references to what we were planning on doing to end the genocide and prevent another one from happening.

Artifact: [|Life after the genocide] I found this source interesting because it talked about what happened to the people after the genocide ended. It talks about the refugee camps and the killings that continued because of the Interahamwe that fled there to escape punishment. It also has information about differnt groups that formed to help protect the survivors of the genocide.

Artifact: [|Rwanda rocked by grenade explosions] This source was interesting because it talks about the things that Rwanda's president is facing after the genocide. It has information about grenade attacks on the country from people that oppose his presidency. The attacks were aimed at people that supported the president and his policies.
