Things In Rwanda The prime minister of Rwanda Agathe Uwilingiyimana was brutally murdered in front of her family. She was at home when government soldiers overwhelmed the troops protecting her. In front of her family she was told to take off her clothes and spread her legs, she did both without argument. She was then stabbed in her vagina until the bayonets came through her neck. The prime minister’s husband and mother were also killed; her kids did manage to escape (Berry 14). “We were pretending to be dead. They took stones and smashed the heads of the bodies. They took little children and smashed their heads together. When they found somebody breathing, they pulled them out and finished them off…. They killed my family. I saw them kill my papa and my brother, but I did not see what happened to my mother.” --Valentina Iribagiza, a survivor of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda(Hentoff 36) “They took one person out of the group and cut off his head. And even the pregnant women, they cut open their stomachs…I saw my father being killed. They cut him to pieces --Placide Uwinagiye, another survivor of the holocaust in Rwanda (Hentoff 36) These horrible acts could united, rwanda, nations, genocide, one, states, war, unamir, tutsis, america, place, out, world, nothing, administration, taking, should, hentoff, clinton, been, because, weapons, two, took, stop, people, hutu, hundred, going, force, even, country, civil, berry, thousand, themselves
