Rwanda 1994

Cover of the educational dossier “Rwanda 1994”
Trying to understand the Rwandan genocide through its long history

Will it ever be possible to fully grasp the Rwandan genocide? That is the question explored in the "Rwanda 1994"-dossier by MNEMA.

The educational dossier is structured around a series of questions about Rwanda’s long history. A variety of sources (photographs, letters, newspaper articles, official documents, ...) and learning materials (maps, political cartoons, songs, comics, graphs, ...) help students gain a deeper understanding of this dark chapter in human history.

"Rwanda 1994" also addresses the direct impact of the genocide on neighboring countries, Burundi and the DR Congo.
