TEN YEARS AGO,I WAS 19 YEARS AND WAS LIVING WITH MY PARENT IN RWANDA BEFORE
THE POLITICAL CRISIS,OF THE HUTUS,TUTIS AND THE HYBERIAN GROUP THAT RAVAGE
THE WHOLE OF THE COUNTRY TAKING THE LIVES OF OVER 800,000 PEOPLE WHICH TODAY
IS NOW TAGGED THE RWANDA GENOCIDE.I LIVED WITH MY PARENTS AFTER I JUST
FINISHED HIGH SCHOOL AS WE CALL IT.THEN THE RUMOUR CAME OF THE PREVAILING
CRISIS BUT MANY OF US DID NOT BELIEVE AND SO IT LINGERED ON UNTIL THE RABEL
CAME AND TOOK OVER THE CITY AND STARTED KILLING OUR PARENTS BEFORE OUR VERY
EYES.MY FATHER WORKED AND SLAVED FOR THE GOVERNMENT IN POWER UNTIL THE
CRISIS STARTED AND HE STILL WORKED FOR THEM EVEN DURING THE CRISIS BEFORE HE
WAS KILLED IN OUR HIDE OUT ALONG SIDE MY MOTHER MARIUAN TOBEKIN WHO WAS A
NURSE.
BEFORE THE HYBERIAN RABELS CAME INTO THE COUNTRY MY FATHER HAD ALREADY KEPT
AWAY IN AN OFFSHORE ACCOUNT ABOUT $12,000,000 MILLION DOLLARS MEANT TO
PURCHASE ARMS AND HIGH POWER AMENITION TO HELP PROCTECT HIS PEOPLE AGAINST
THE HUTUS,FOR HE A WAS A STRONG CHRISTIAN WHO NEVER SAW VIOLENCE AS A WAY OF
SOLVING A PROBLEM BUT VERY BAD MISTAKE AND STEP HE TOOK .HE WENT TO THE UN
AND REPORTED TO THE GENERAL INCHARGE,RWANDA THEN IN 1994 MAJOR GENERAL ROMEO
DALLAIRE BUT THEY WERE SLOW IN TAKING ACTION AND THREE MONTHS LATER THE
CRISIS STARTED AND MY FATHER WAS SLAUGHTERED.AND THEN EVIL HAS PREVAILED
OVER GOOD WILL,MIGHT AND JUSTICE
MY FATHER WAS PROMISED PROTECTION AS AN INFORMAT BUT HE WAS NOT GIVEN ONE
