When the Chief of Staff of Rwanda's Army was assassinated after the
invasion of the country, civil war and then genocide, his widow and
their six children found ways to overcome the rupture of their
family and their country. This is their story. Major-General
D'ogratias Nsabimana was the Rwandan Army Chief of Staff. He died
when the Rwandan presidential plane was shot down on April 6, 1994.
Casualties included the presidents of both Rwanda and Burundi.
Rwanda became renowned because of one of the worst mass killings of
the twentieth century combined with an unprecedented crisis in
Central Africa. Nsabimana was a fine military strategist, respected
by his peers. He played a vital role during the war that followed
the Rwandan Patriotic Army's invasion on October 1, 1990. Patriotic
and honest, he was a lead negotiator of the 1993 Arusha Peace
Accords. He firmly believed in the process, convinced that only
peace could allow Rwandans to live in harmony. The highlights and
life lessons that Alice Nsabimana and her brothers and sisters have
chosen to share cast new light on the terrible tragedy that struck
Rwanda and neighboring countries.
