The Hutu Refugees Massacres in Picture

THE RWANDAN HUTU REFUGEES MASSACRES IN PICTURE

Kibumba Rwandan Refugee Camp in Zaire /DRC in 1995. I attended the make shift school in the background.

The photo captures a heart-wrenching scene of Rwandan Hutu refugees passing by the lifeless bodies of their deceased relatives in the Goma refugee camp. Thousands of refugees lost their lives to RPF poisoning.

Bodies of Rwandan Hutu refugees dumped in the bush in Goma refugee camp in 1994. Three of my siblings, 3 uncles, 5 aunts, and several were among those killed by poison distributed by the Kagame regime in Goma in 1994.

Kibumba Refugee Camp in 1995

In 1994, the bodies of Rwandan Hutu refugees were found discarded along the road in Goma. Tragically, hundreds of thousands of these refugees were poisoned by the new regime of Paul Kagame in Rwanda.

In the heart-wrenching scene, a Hutu refugee family in Congo is depicted bringing their dying loved one to a mass grave in the bush. The individual had been poisoned in Goma by the RPF (Rwandan Patriotic Front), and the family had no choice but to take them there so they could pass away amidst the tragic circumstances of the refugee crisis.

The poignant image captures a young Hutu refugee orphaned and left abandoned by the campsite. This child represents one of the millions of Rwandan children who tragically lost their parents during the RPF onslaught as families fled Rwanda in 1994.
