Mo(u)rning in Kigali


Morning view from my hotel in Kigali. Today is the commemoration day for the Armenian Genocide on 24th April 1915, yes that's now 91 years ago. And it's a special feeling for me because I am nowhere else than Kigali, home to the last genocide on earth 12 years ago (strangely enough their commemoration day is in April too). The country here is still recovering from what was a violently quick bloodbath: around 1M people killed in 100 days, mostly by machetes. And this was between people living together a few hours before... Today, they're living together again. Life always goes on.
