“I was only 17 at the onset of the ’94 genocide war when my family was forced into a refugee camp in the Congo by the Rwandan Patriotic Front soldiers. After the war I joined the rebel forces in the Congo. I was badly wounded, and returned to Rwanda to get medical treatment. e authorities sent me to an integration camp for 6 months and gave me a stake of $350 to start a new life.Now I am married, have a family and we are building a life together filled with hope.
