Rwanda: Twenty Years Later
It's been two decades since the hundred-day mass slaughter, aimed at the country's minority Tutsi population, and Rwanda is starting to see success in economic growth and public health. We're talking about how far the country has come, the struggles it still faces, as well as ongoing soul-searching by Rwandans and the international community.
GUESTS:
- Erik Cleven – assistant professor in the politics department at Saint Anselm College. His research includes ethnic violence and conflict transformation, and he spent time in Rwanda and Burundi in 2005 as part of a project with Quaker Service Norway to promote post-conflict dialogue.
- Stephen Kinzer - author and journalist, who has covered more than 50 countries on 5 continents. His books include "A Thousand Hills: Rwanda's Rebirth and the Man Who Dreamed It" in 2013.
- Augustin Ntabaganyimana – a refugee from Rwanda who came to New Hampshire in 2000. He was Program Manager at a refugee resettlement agency in the state, but recently moved to DC where he founded the company MultiLingual Links, which works in N.H. and Baltimore.
