The Rwandan Genocide Memorial sites unarguably serve a crucial role in ensuring history does not repeating itself. I cringed when reading BBC's recent article regarding the Rwandan Government's supposed forced exhumation of murdered Tutsi and moderate Hutu. Imagine having to go through the horror of your family and/or close friends murdered in cold blood and then having to reopen that wound by exhuming their remains years after they've finally been allowed to lay in peace. Exhuming loved ones should not be by forced, but only voluntary. Rwandans have already been through enough without such unnecessary trauma. Sunday 29 May 2011
