Rwanda: Poverty Dynamics and Violent Conflict...and recognition of the genocide at last!

I'll stop with the links to other people's opinions soon, but hey - these are interesting!

Poverty Dynamics, Violent Conflict and Convergence in Rwanda

Civil war and genocide in 1990s Rwanda saw not only millions of lives lost, but a population left behind to establish a livelihood when facing serious obstacles. This study examines the impact of the conflict on household income and poverty dynamics, particularly the transitory nature of poverty.

ICTR Finally Recognises 1994 Rwanda Genocide

The Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda has legally recognized that genocide occurred in Rwanda in 1994, a long overdue ruling, according to the UN-backed tribunal's Acting Prosecutor, General Martin Ngoga. Ngoga says that having to prove in each case that genocide took place wasted time and resources. The Appeals Chamber's landmark decision will relieve the prosecution of this burden and hopefully speed up the pace of proceedings.
