Description
A Rwandan woman with a child in her arms and surrounded by a number of other children look anxiously at the scene around them. They have survived the brutal massacre of over 2,000 civilians at the Kibeho refugee camp by the Rwandan Patriotic Army (RPA). The refugee camp at Kibeho was administered by the second United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR II) and at one time held an estimated 120,000 Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) fleeing the genocide of the civil war between Rwanda's two tribal groups, the Tutsi and Hutu.
