(240408) -- KIGALI, April 8, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Children are pictured at Mbyo unity and reconciliation village in Eastern Province, Rwanda, April 7, 2024. Rwanda on Sunday began a week of national mourning and 100 days of commemoration to mark the 30th anniversary of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi.
There are several reconciliation villages in Rwanda built for families of survivors of the 1994 genocide, released ex-prisoners convicted of crimes committed in 100-day carnage, and vulnerable citizens not directly related to the mass killings that resulted in the death of more than 1 million Tutsis and moderate Hutus.
The aim of building reconciliation villages is to put the survivors and offenders of the genocide in one closely knit community and have them interact with each other through daily living and cooperative work. (Xinhua/Dong Jianghui)
