Bonjour! Today, on 15 July 2011, I (Marshall Humphrey) will
be updating you all on our progress here Tanzania. Today, we visited
something I was longing to visit since our arrival on 8 July; the International Criminal Tribunals to the Rwanda Genocide in Arusha. Court was not in session,
and due to visiting officials, all three court rooms were not open; plus,
security is very tight there. We watched a video that was roughly one hour long
regarding the history of the Tribunals. After the video, our guide gave us a
briefing regarding the events in Rwanda in 1994. After that, we walked over to
what appeared to be an entrance into the building for pictures, and left. I
learned much about the events in 1994 regarding rivalry between the Tutsi and
Hutu people prior to 1994 and the fact that roughly
one million Tutsi lost their lives.
Marshall
