Publisher's Synopsis
In 1994, the world witnessed the genocide against the Tutsi of Rwanda.
Many rushed to justify the genocide by blaming it on a plane crash that
killed President Habyarimana of Rwanda and President Ntaryamira of Burundi.
However, I was born in the Congo in the 1960s and I grew up with the fear of
being killed one day because of my ethnicity.
I escaped the killings of Tutsi in the Congo, moved to Rwanda after the
genocide, and contributed to the rebuilding of a destroyed nation suspended
between hope and uncertainty. Despite being subjected to humiliation and
fear all my life, I refused to be a prisoner of ethnic hatred.
With more than ninety percent of the population being Christians in the
land of a thousand hills, Hutu and Tutsi should live peacefully. Where
Christ is, the dividing wall of hostility has been destroyed. Otherwise, we
preachers of the good news, and Christian politicians, should ask ourselves
if we are faithfully fulfilling our mission.
This book is about overcoming evil through spiritual values.
