Itsembatsemba, Rwanda One Genocide Later

Itsembatsemba, Rwanda un génocide plus tard

The genocide in Rwanda (Itsembatsemba) took place amongst general indifference. On the 6th April 1994, a fury of purification swept the country. Within one hundred days, soldiers and militiamen (interhamwe) massacred at least 700,000 Tutsis. These images were taken two years after the genocide, in April 1996. The sound track comes from Radio Télévision Libre Mille Collines (Thousand Hills Free Broadcasting)–RTLM–and dates from April to June 1994. RTLM began to transmit in 1991 with the help of the regime and played a key role in the unleashing and the coordination of the killing.
