On April 13, they came to kill me.
They left me thereโฆ thinking I was already gone.
My body was broken.
My head was cut.
I was covered in pain and silence.
But inside meโฆ life was still there.
I donโt know how I survived.
I donโt know how I opened my eyes again.
But I did.
This picture shows what they did to me.
The wounds. The scars. The moment they thought my life was finished.
But look at me nowโฆ
I am alive.
I am breathing.
I am standing.
I carried my pain.
I cried.
I healed slowly.
I rebuilt myself piece by piece.
And todayโฆ I rise.
They thought they ended my story.
But my story continued.
I am not just a survivor.
I am life that refused to die.

UWAMAHORO Grace shared a testimony that still shakes the heart.
During the Genocide against the Tutsis in 1994, she heard faint moaning from the bushes near her home. A mother lay there, brutally cut with machetes on her forehead, neck, and legs. Too weak to move, she was slowly dying.
Yet her baby was still breastfeeding at her chest, unaware that her mother's life was fading.
With the little strength she had left, the mother begged Grace:
"Please, do me a favor. Take my baby. With God's help, may you both survive."
Grace did.
Today, that baby is alive. She defeated death before she could even speak.
"As soon as the Americans were out of Rwanda, the interest of the americans (white house) in what was happening in Rwanda (genocide against the tutsis) evaporated". Today, those same people pressure Rwanda to remove our defensive measures against FDLR & their enablers #Kwibuka32
32 years ago, the West made a deal with the Rwandan genocidal regime.
The deal that sealed the fate of the Tutsi.
In this documentary, U.S. officials confirm it.
"The deal we made was that in return for safe passage for our diplomats, we would not take any Rwandan citizens with us. We left our U.S. government employees colleagues to fend for themselves," says Prudence Bushnell, then Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs.
Laura Lane, then an officer at the U.S. embassy, recalls:
"To this day, I always thought I got lucky. But now I realise it was part of the plan to get us out."
As she concludes, the genocidaires wanted a license to kill, and they got it, without any resistance.
From that moment on, they knew the West wouldn't stand in their way as they proceeded with the next phase of their plan: the extermination of the Tutsi.
The US made the deal; the French and the Belgians sent in their troops to enforce it.
Thirty-two years is not a long time. For some of us, it feels like yesterday.
And so: yesterday, they evacuated their people, and even their dogs, and left our people to die.
Now, when the FDLR launches attacks from neighbouring DRC, they issue travel warnings to their own citizens.
But interestingly enough, they expect us to remove our defensive measures before the FDLR, the very genocidal group they've supposedly spent billions on peacekeeping missions to neutralise, is dealt with.
So we have to ask:
Have they made another deal with the devil?
A deal not just to exterminate the Banyamulenge and other Tutsi communities in Congo, but one that extends to the destruction of Rwanda itself.

At #Kwibuka32 in Ottawa on April 7, I warned that in #DRC the same ideology that fueled the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi persists, as genocidal forces are tolerated while Rwanda & threatened Tutsi communities in DRC are blamed for defending themselves.
Today, we remember and reflect on the horrific 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda.
We honour the victims, survivors, and everyone whose lives were changed forever by the atrocities and commit to building a better world where such horrors are never forgotten or repeated.
