In the early 1990s, the country of Rwanda jumped into the headlines with horrific images and details of what was to become known as the Rwandan Genocide. This is a walk through the years leading up to Rwanda’s civil war, and what precipitated the Rwandan Genocide. Maybe if we can learn from what happened there, it can be prevented in the future.

Rwandan Genocide Part 2

This is the podcast that started with me wanting to learn more about things that interest me; crazy and important things that happened In the 20th century; things that don’t always get the attention to detail that they deserve. I dig into the story behind what happened, and offer an abridged version of the history and events that became the story. 
As each series develops and I think about what to cover in the future, I have come to realize that I want to find out what can be learnt from the last 100+ years. Each event has lessons for us today, if we want to learn them.
