Invest more in Rwanda says genocide prevention expert


More investment must be made in Rwanda, where people are still reeling from the 1994 genocide, a legal and human rights expert has recommended.

UN Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide, Adama Dieng, said the country will not be able to meet development objectives if a large number of its citizens are still traumatized by the tragedy.

UN Radio’s Carlos Martinez asked Mr. Dieng if it is even possible to achieve reconciliation after such an atrocity, ahead of the annual UN ceremony to reflect on the genocide, which saw as many as one million people killed over a three-month period which started from April 7, 1994.
