RWANDA GENOCIDE

The Rwandan genocide began on the dawn of 7th April 1994 after a plane crash which killed both the Rwandan and Burundian Presidents. It lasted for a hundred days in which many people were slaughtered by fellow Rwandans (Power 2001).

Today it will be 18 years after the genocide but the country only started recovering from the impact of this violent bloody conflict. Lets go one step back to the events of 1994 in Rwanda.
Trigger of the 100 days lasting genocide was the shoot down of the airplane bringing the current president of Rwanda back to the capital, Kigali, after negotiations with rebels.

This KivuWatt project, costing $140m in its first phase, may be the most ambitious of many in Rwanda. Once up and running early this year, it is expected to increase the mountainous country’s power generation by a third. For Rwanda’s government, which still harks back to the genocide of 1994, when some 800,000 of its people were murdered in the course of three months, it is a symbol of revival, turning a potential disaster into an engine of growth and reinvigoration.
