Rwanda's post-genocide guide keeps the memories alive

Rwanda's post-genocide guide keeps the memories alive(This version of the April 5th story corrects date in paragraph 2 to April 6 not April 7) By Clement Uwiringiyimana KIGALI (Reuters) - Every weekday, Aline Uwase Turatsinze gets up, washes her face and rides a motorbike to the site where more than 60 members of her family were buried after being murdered. The quiet woman with the long braids is a guide at Rwanda's genocide museum, a memorial to the killing that claimed 800,000 Tutsi and moderate Hutu lives after the then-president's plane was shot down on April 6, 1994. Not in Rwanda, not anywhere in the world." The Gisozi Memorial site is the final resting place of more than a quarter of a million people killed during the 100 days of genocide.
