Given recommendations, I have finished reading two amazing books and watching a movie about the 1994 genocide. As expected, this has increased my anxiety about moving to Kigali. Fortunately, I have the freedom to take a step back (emotionally) and separate myself from the history, so I can make my own judgments based on people's individual personalities and my unique experiences with them. Let me know if you are interested in these titles to learn more about the genocide (which some say lasted until 1998) and the west's contributions to it.
