[edit] Life

• There is an urgent need for reconciliation between Tutsi and Hutu and for peace after centuries of oppression and cycles of killings, reprisals and counter-killings have left a legacy of pain and hatred that bode ill for any resolution. May this dark cloud be lifted. All national and international attempts at mediation have failed to bring Hutu rebel factions to the negotiating table.
