It is in 1990, in Gitongati. It all begun with disobeying to an order: “Cut the banana trees” we will go to burry Rwigema at the commune office. I never knew that my absence was noted, a month later I was given a prestigious role at school (at least in my view);

Aujourd'hui, il y a 26 ans
... la Communauté Internationale finalisait sa "fuite" en laissant a leurs sorts le million de victimes qui avaient ete trompées par cette communauté, croyant qu'elle inreviendrait et les protegerait. Non, elle laissa faire

enterré. Le but de ma vie maintenant est celui
de réaliser ce que tu n' as pas pu réaliser/
