Since the 1994 Rwandan crisis, I had not had an opportunity to go back to Rwanda. My recent and first visit since 1994 happened in December 2014.We escaped to Kenya during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. We briefly passed through Congo (then Zaire). Growing up outside Rwanda, as a stateless refugee was both challenging and unexpectedly rewarding. Challenging in the sense that I was stateless refugee, with no basic human rights and no certainty for the future.
