The genocide in Rwanda di Alessia Fia

RWANDA NOW

Today the Rwanda is living a long political crisis[S1] [E1][F1][I1]. From 2000 Paul Kagame is president of Rwanda: he has got the 95% of the votes and his party, the Rwanda Patriotic Front, has won with the 74% of the suffrages, but this victory has happened in a climate of intimidation and threats.

To more than ten years from the massacre, the Rwanda is still in knee and it is one of the poorest countries of the Earth, while it is trying to recompose, among thousand difficulty, the division between Hutu and Tutsi: the Tutsi escaped during the Genocide have formed community with strong cohesion that also remain out of Rwanda and their repatriate seems very difficult.

The Tutsi that remained in Rwanda during the Genocide paradoxically begin to feel themselves outcasts, while various anti-Hutu extremists oppose every attempt of mediation.

The Humanitarian situation of the country is disastrous[S1][S2][E1][E2][E3][F1][F2][I1][I2]: the alfabetisation doesn't reach the 70%, the expectation of life is only forty years, the population is decimated by the HIV virus, while the sexual violence against girls is particularly diffused[S1][F1][F2][E1][I1][I2], a lot of people don't have a fixed home or they are still dispersed and distant from their villages.

The political and economic tensions constitute a great obstacle to the reconciliation.
