For as long as i can remember, ive wanted to go back home. Home to the place where i was born. A home i hadnt seen in 30 years. Its also 30 years since the genocide, which killed about 800,000 people. I was one of the lucky ones. My family and i got away, but many didnt. Now im returning to my home country to trace back my escape route when i was just 12 years old. Theres no sound that fills me with so much joy as the sound of children in a classroom. As i am reunited with my family, i also want to uncover the countrys journey to healing and reconciliation. This is one of the groups that carsa has, made by Genocide Survivors and the genocide former perpetrators. And ill be hearing from those who had a role in the killings and their survivors. Translation to me, he was not only a murderer, but a monster. Beeps. Im Victoria Uwonkunda and im a reporterfor the bbc. Hello and welcome to newsday, here on the Bbc World Service with Victoria Uwonkunda. I was born in rwanda, but ive lived most
