Current Situation

Rwanda has taken many steps to improve their situation, but the country is still scarred. The genocide affected and continues to affect most everyone in and surrounding the country, including: survivors, the government, returning refugees, killers, and even surrounding countries such as Congo.
Many survivors are facing severe poverty because everything they had was destroyed and many of the people in their lives were killed. They also face serious health problems such as HIV/AIDS. Some of the people in the Tutsi minority are still attacked by the Hutus, and fear lives in almost all of them. It is difficult to rebuild your life next to the person who recently tried to kill you.
The post-genocide government has a policy of "unity and reconciliation." They have made many advances, including Gacaca, a form of local justice inspired by tradition, which was created to handle the hundreds of thousands of crimes during the genocide. (Many of the Hutus have fled to neighboring countries to avoid the consequences of their actions). The government has also given women a little bit of power through legal reforms. The government has also promoted participation in the government which has increased economic growth and stability; they have also adopted a new constitution. However, most of the power remains in the hands of former leaders of the Tutsi-dominated RPF and freedom of speech is limited. The first post-genocide elections were in August 2003. Former RPF general Paul Kagame was elected to serve a seven year presidential term.
