Less than 2 days ago, I viewed a special screening of the movie, "As We Forgive". It is a story about reconciliation in Rwanda between Tutsi survivors and their Hutu perpetrators.
The Rwandan genocide continues in Congo.
Eight killed in eastern Congo attacks
Eight people were killed and hundreds of homes set ablaze in two overnight attacks in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo by Rwandan Hutu rebels, witnesses said on Saturday.
Residents of Luofu, a town 180 km (110 miles) north of the eastern town of Goma, said rebels from the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) set fire to more than 250 homes in what they believed was a reprisal attack.
"The FDLR came last night, lots and lots of them. They burned nearly the entire village. We counted around 255 houses burned and we counted seven people killed, including five children," said Luofu village chief Emmanuel Murindu.
"The five children burned inside their house," he told Reuters, adding that the police chief was seriously wounded.
