I read an article called "Rwandan Genocide Aftermath" for one of my sources, to learn some of the effects of the Rwandan Genocide in 1995. These are some things I learned:
-From a distance, Rwanda looks pretty and unhurt, completely opposite of the past
-Over 18,000 refugees are crowded into camps
-United Nations are pressuring refugees to rebuild their broken country and get on with life, one example of this is cutting off the water source to camps
-Refugees are scared to go home, "we will be killed if we go home"
-about 1 million Rwandans are dead
-aid organizations have swarmed into Rwanda
