I remember April 1994 as if it were yesterday.

This short testimony goes to the youth, but especially to those who dare to speak of a “double genocide.”

I was not hunted.
But I remember how Tutsis were hunted.

I remember conversations with my Tutsi peers.
Fear in their eyes.
Total despair.
Wondering where to hide.

I remember Tutsi neighbours trying to return to their places of origin, hoping to find safety, and never making it.
Some were killed on the way.
Others were killed when they arrived, in places they believed would protect them.

I remember churches becoming places of animosity.
Places of slaughter.

And I remember not understanding how people could suddenly become so cruel.

There was a roadblock near our home.

People were stopped and asked to present their IDs.
If your ID said Tutsi, you were to die.
If you had children, they were to die, no matter their age.
If you were pregnant, the unborn child was to die first.

The unspeakable had become normal.

There was a nearby forest.
Killers had given it a name, CND.

And we would hear them say they had taken people to CND.

That is how death was spoken about.
Casually. As if it meant nothing.

No one questioned it.
Those who could ask were the same ones killing or giving the orders.

At no point during the Genocide against the Tutsi did I hear of Hutus being hunted for being Hutu.
Tutsis were hunted. Systematically. Ruthlessly.

Yes, some Hutus were killed because they were mistaken for Tutsi.
Yes, some Hutus were killed because they refused to kill, or because they chose to hide and protect Tutsis.
Yes, many Hutus died on the way to exile, mostly from cholera.

But they were never hunted to death for being Hutu.

Let us not distort history.
Let us not equalise what was never equal.

To the youth, Rwanda was once dead.
What you see today did not exist.

And yet, we rose.
We rebuilt.
We chose unity over division.

Today, Rwanda stands strong, among the fast-developing nations, guided by visionary leadership under H.E. Paul Kagame.

Under Inkotanyi, who stopped the genocide when the international community failed to act.

Our dignity was restored.
Today, amahanga aratwubaha.

This is not something we can ever take for granted.

We must stand together to protect our country and our leadership.
We must stand together to fight any harm against Rwanda.

We must stand together against any form of genocide ideology.

We must stand together against denial, so that “Never Again” becomes a reality.
Today and forever.

As our President said, Rwanda cannot die twice.

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

"She saved a stranger’s child with $15. Decades later, she discovered why he had been searching for her.

In 1982, a Kenyan boy named Chris Mburu stood on the brink of losing everything. He was the brightest student in his rural district, studying by lamplight inside an earthen house without electricity. But his family could not afford his school fees. Without help, his education would end — along with any chance of escaping a life spent picking coffee in the fields.

Meanwhile, across the world in Sweden, an 80-year-old kindergarten teacher named Hilde Back came across a notice for a child sponsorship program. She chose a name from a list: Chris Mburu, Kenya. She began sending $15 every school term. There was no recognition, no expectation of gratitude — just a quiet decision to help a child she believed she would never meet.

That small amount changed everything.

Chris stayed in school. Over time, he and Hilde exchanged letters. She asked about his teachers, his studies, and his dreams. Through her words, he realized she wasn’t just part of an organization. She was a real person who believed in him. And he never forgot her.

Chris eventually graduated at the top of his law class at the University of Nairobi. He later earned a Fulbright scholarship to Harvard. He went on to become a United Nations human rights lawyer, helping prosecute genocide and crimes against humanity around the world.

Yet one thing always weighed on his heart. He had never properly thanked the woman who made his journey possible. In truth, he barely knew who she was.

In 2001, Chris founded a scholarship program for children like himself — talented students from poor families whose potential might otherwise be lost. He asked the Swedish Ambassador in Kenya to help him locate his mysterious sponsor so he could name the foundation after her.

They found her. Hilde Back. Still alive. Still living quietly in Sweden.

Chris traveled to meet her for the first time. He expected to meet a wealthy philanthropist. Instead, he found a humble, warm woman living simply — genuinely surprised that anyone considered her actions remarkable.

Then filmmaker Jennifer Arnold began documenting their reunion. During her research, she uncovered something Hilde had never told Chris.

Hilde Back had not been born in Sweden. She was born in Nazi Germany in 1922 to a Jewish family. At sixteen, when Hitler’s Nuremberg Laws banned Jewish children from attending school, strangers helped smuggle her to Sweden. Her parents stayed behind because Sweden’s refugee policies did not allow older Jews to enter. Both were later sent to concentration camps. Her father died there. Her mother disappeared, never to be heard from again.

Hilde survived the Holocaust because strangers helped her escape. She lost her own education because of who she was.

Fifty years later, she quietly paid for the education of a child across the world — a child who would grow up to fight the same hatred that destroyed her family.

When Chris learned her story, he wept. Hilde, meanwhile, had no idea that the boy she sponsored had devoted his life to prosecuting genocide.

In 2003, Hilde traveled to Kenya for the inauguration of the Hilde Back Education Fund. The entire village welcomed her as an honorary elder. In 2012, she returned again to celebrate her 90th birthday, surrounded by hundreds of children whose futures had been transformed through her generosity.

Hilde Back passed away on January 13, 2021, at the age of 98.

Today, the Hilde Back Education Fund has supported nearly 1,000 Kenyan children in continuing their education. Many have graduated from universities around the world. Many now give back — mentoring younger students and contributing monthly donations to support the next generation.

One woman. Fifteen dollars. One child.

That child created a foundation. That foundation changed hundreds of lives. And those lives continue to change others.
