We have received many testimonies following the death on November 30 of Ephrem Rugiririza, Justice Info’s Africa editor. Former colleagues and others who knew him during his 30-year career speak of an exceptional journalist and human being. Ephrem was a man who lived through the greatest tragedy of the late 20th century, the genocide in Rwanda, without losing his clarity of vision, humanism or ability to see the complexity of history, and without giving up his passion for journalism.
The editorial staff of Justice Info are in mourning after the death of our Africa editor, Ephrem Rugiririza, on Tuesday November 30 at his home in Kampala, Uganda. We publish here a tribute from one of those who knew him best in his early days as a journalist. They both joined Radio Rwanda in 1991, on the eve of a national cataclysm, the genocide of the Tutsis, through which Ephrem lived with a rare and life-saving concern for accuracy and balance.
Context and History of the Project
In June 2018, Fondation Hirondelle started a project in Bangladesh, in the Rohingya refugee camp of Jamtoli. In 2019, we expanded the project into two additional Rohingya refugee camps and we also work with affected Bangladeshi communities near the camps. Fondation Hirondelle’s work aims to contribute to the resourcefulness and resilience of refugees and the host community and strengthen social cohesion between the groups.
In partnership with HEKS/EPER since July 2020, Fondation Hirondelle’s project aims to improve the access to important and practical information for thousands of listeners a week living in the camps and in communities nearby. The project also aims to contribute to increased social cohesion between refugees and host populations through shared media programming.
