What Stopped Me from Becoming a Killer
Hyppolite Ntigurirwa saw his father killed in the Rwandan genocide. He wanted revenge
Like many Rwandans who survived the genocide of 1994, Hyppolite Ntigurirwa suffered enormously. He saw his father killed; relatives raped. He was just seven years old at the time, and grew up to be a very angry young man. But then he made a choice which is truly inspiring - he found forgiveness and decided to launch a peace initiative. This story contains some disturbing descriptions of violence. (Photo credit: Hyppolite Ntigurirwa.)
