Brief Summary 2:
The 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda resulted in over one million deaths and left deep psychological, social, and economic scars. Communities were torn apart, institutions collapsed, and millions were displaced. Survivors endured trauma, disease, and widespread sexual violence. The justice system struggled under the weight of crimes, prompting innovative solutions like Gacaca courts. Despite these challenges, Rwanda has made significant strides in reconciliation, rebuilding infrastructure, reforming education, and promoting a unified national identity.
