A few tears were shed by
some of the volunteers in the genesidemeuseum. I wasn’t so emotional this time
as I knew what I was to expect. This time we visited a few more places and
given a more in depth insight of how it all started and what happened the years
running up to the genocide.
There was one building we were taken to which
marked the start of the killings. 10 Belgum special forces had their weapons
removed and taken to the main army barracks in Kegali where they assumed they
would be safe. They were put in their offices and the Rwandan army stood
outside and shot at them. Armed with just two hand guns they survived in this
small building for 7 hours until a grenade was thrown in and ended the lives of
the solders.
