Thirty years ago, a highway intersection near the village of Ngoma became the scene of mass murder, as mobs wielding crude weapons massacred thousands of men, women and children fleeing during Rwanda's 100-day genocidal orgy.
Today, the village’s horrific story and evidence of the crimes are finally coming to the surface, literally. As Rwanda struggles to move forward, the memories from 1994, it seems, will never become distant.
“We remember the genocide every single day, not only when we discover bodies. It’s an everyday process.” -Julienne Mukandiye, genocide survivor
