2014 marks the 20th commemoration of the Genocide of the Tutsi in Rwanda. Over 800,000 victims in three months only, while the West closed its eyes. Since then, the new government has promoted a strong reconciliation policy and introduced important social transformations aimed at creating a « new Rwanda » where a genocide would not be possible.
