    About this ebook

    As a genocide survivor, and a wanted person, After I had made the great step in achieving healing and deliverance, when Satan failed to maintain me among his hostages as I got strength to forgive and heal; After a long struggle and a mudy journey towards deliverance and healing I thought this message would be worthy to be told so that many people who have experience similar to mine can get out of darkness and embrace the light.

    Sometimes we dont heal because we think we suffered so much than others; we think we are the only ones who suffered and dont think about others;

    Jesus who suffered so that we can be delivered is the Light. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

      Preface

      28119.jpg

      Caught unaware in a whirlpool of conflicts borne of divisions among fellow country people speaking the same language, living together in harmony, sharing the little they had, donating cows to each other, not to mention being closely linked by marriage, I looked like a child in a daydream.

      I finally came to understand that when one does not know the extent of a problem, he underestimates it and then bears its misfortunes while continuing to think that the situation might change at any time. Sometimes he considers it his own problem, when in reality it is a common responsibility. And when he can’t do anything about it, when he doesn’t have the power to change the situation, he leaves it to time, hoping that people will understand it and react. He waits to see what the future will bring, living as if the situation were normal, and he finally becomes part of the problem himself.

      I was born in a hospitable family where everybody had a warm welcome. My father was a medical assistant, and sick people, including neighbours, friends, his students, and many other people, came to see him. He treated all those people equally. Wherever we were staying, all the neighbours’ children called him ‘Father’ because he’d attended to their births. I had never heard of any ethnic-related problems in my family, let alone in my neighbourhood. I didn’t hear my parents talking about ethnic divisions. They always taught us love for everybody. Whatever I knew about ethnicity was through history.

      In school, I remember when they asked us to stand up by our ethnic groups; I could stand up one day as a Tutsi and the next as a Hutu since I didn’t know which group I belonged to.

      I didn’t know why they asked us to stand up according to which ethnic groups we belonged, and as a child, I couldn’t ask our teacher. Had I done so, it would have been called insolence for a child to seek explanations about things that were not related to subjects taught in class. Whenever I asked my parents why we were told to stand up by our ethnic groups, they always gave me unclear explanations and tried to convince me that teachers made us stand up in order to count us to know how many students were in the class.

      When I started to face the issue of ethnicity, I remembered all that had happened when I was a child. I then asked my parents why they did not tell us about ethnicity. They answered that they just didn’t want us to know about the differences while we were young. Of course, they wanted to protect us from what they’d experienced themselves as children and young people. They had been forced to leave their land and move to inhabited forests to start new lives after they were internally displaced. When I was told of their experiences, I started to understand that they were right not to tell us about ethnic differences for our own good. If they had previously, I would have grown with hatred. Being aware of those problems during my childhood would have shaped my life differently.

      My parents’ testimony was most helpful in that it enabled me to understand the awesomeness of these ethnic differences as well as the old nature of the problems they caused. I was also equipped for the struggle I was going to start with these problems that were new to me. Yet this question kept lingering in my mind: Why were ethnic problems as serious as they were? With my parents’ testimony, I started to understand the situation.

      Moreover, when I began the discovery of ethnic problems, I was living with one of my relatives who had fled the country, but I had not yet been informed about how and why he fled.

      What I was told through history, I just accepted as such and didn’t bother taking time to analyse and understand. My naive thinking was that what had happened in the past could not happen again since people had learnt from history and were further educated. This short-handed analysis made me believe that history could not repeat itself and would not become worse. Nor did I think that what was going to happen could have the impact it did, causing me to bear the severe effects I’ve
