Mbyo Village is a reconciliation village, established as part of Rwanda's "Unity and Reconciliation" initiative to foster national unity and collective progress. These villages represent one of several projects initiated by the Rwandan government in response to the 1994 genocide. Within these villages, survivors of the genocide live alongside repentant ex-perpetrators, promoting coexistence and healing.

2024 marks the 30th observance of the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, one of the darkest chapters in human history. More than one million people – overwhelmingly Tutsi, but also Hutu and others who opposed the genocide – were systematically killed in less than three months.

Headline Three New Witnesses Heard as Namibia Uranium Hearings Conclude

Caption Description The Council for Namibia’s Panel for Hearings on Namibian Uranium, which met this week to gather information on the exploitation, purchase and use of Namibian uranium, concluded its work this afternoon. Statements were heard by Dr. Helen Caldicott, pediatrician, Harvard Medical School instructor, and President of Physicians for Social Responsibility; Abdul Minty, Director, World Campaign against Military and Nuclear Collaboration with South Africa; and Barbara Masekela, a representative of the African National Congress of South Africa (ANC). A number of other participants were also heard from including representatives of India, Zambia, the Soviet Union, China, Yugoslavia and the observer from the South West Africa People’s Organization (SWAPO). Various witnesses who had previously given testimony also participated in the discussions. In a concluding statement, Panel Chairman Noel G. Sinclair (Guyana) said disclosures made during the week had helped fortify the Council for Namibia’s position on illegal exploitation of Namibia’s uranium. The Panel, after careful assessment, should approach the Governments and companies concerned on the basis of evidence which is now possessed.
