Rwanda
by Rakiya Omar
This book is a tremendous documentation effort by Rakiya Omar, who runs African Rights. While other human rights organizations have largely devoted themselves to holding the post-genocide government to account for its treatment of accused perpetrators of genocide, and for its various shortcomings, African Rights has kept its eye on the injustices suffered by the victims of the genocide – not just at the time, but in the aftermath of the massacres.
