15 years after an estimated 800,000 people died during the Rwandan genocide, countries around the world look back at what happened.

That was a photo slideshow from The Huffington Post by an investigative journalist. Hello I’m Charlotte Bellis and you’re watching Newsy.com.

France24 summarizes what sparked the conflict.

“These images show the remains of a plane crash that killed Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana, a Hutu. The plane was shot down by a missile near the capital Kigali, an assassination that triggered the Rwandan genocide. The Hutu presidential guard immediately launched a campaign of retribution, laying the blame on Tutsi rebels from the Rwandan Patriotic Front.” (France24)

The BBC talks to a survivor who lost 50 family members during the 3-month genocide.

“I think forgiveness is supposed to be a personal thing. It’s not supposed to be dictated by anybody. We all have a right to forgive or not forgive. I think what's bothering me currently is that everyone else apart from survivors is talking about forgiveness and nobody is talking about justice.” (BBC)

Al Jazeera English reports from a Rwandan town where former fighters are coming back.

The fighters fled Rwanda after the genocide but continued fighting to overthrow the government put in place after the genocide.

“Many of the men and women living in Bosogo seem to just want to lay the past to rest. They don’t seem to be bothered that they have looters, rapists and even killers who took part in the genocide living among them. ‘I don’t care if these men are guilty or innocent. What we want is for them to come back home to help rebuild Rwanda.’” (Al Jazeera English)

Deutsche Welle talks to the head of the main Rwandan genocide survivor’s organization.

“Genocide survivors are still being massacred in Rwandan interior regions. You cannot hush up these killings by attributing them to the settling of scores within clans.” (Deutsche Welle)

The Jerusalem Post asks if mass killings will ever stop, citing Darfur as the world’s most recent attempt at turning a blind eye.

“For poor around the globe and especially in Africa, [the ‘never again’ promise] will not mean anything… as we live in a world where only self-interests of powerful countries, not ethics, morals, compassion and human decency play a major role in stopping large-scale exterminations of human beings.” (The Jerusalem Post)

So, how do you think the international community has dealt with Rwanda? Do you think justice has been done in the region?
