Post Genocide Rwanda

1.In what was did the genocide impact the development of this “developing” country?
    It impacted it A LOT. It took away the population, villages, made people disabled and unable to work, even today people are still hurt. But at the same time, the end of it brought ahead the development. Made the people realize the messed up and that they need to fix it.

2.Where does the rebuilding of a country shattered by genocide begin? What can the people do? What can the government do? What can the international community do?
    Where does it begin. Where does anything begin? First off, steps need to be taken to prevent this from ever happening again. Then they need to help the population with their trauma so they move on and help the rebuilding, the re-populating. The people need to help each other, the government needs to prevent it from happening, the international community need to be there to help stop if it does rise up again.

3.How can justice be found in post-genocide Rwanda?
     They are trying to make justice by holding the perpetraitors in prison until a trial can be held, but they need more prison facilities because the jails are packed. The trials are not coming fast enough.

4.Which can bring  justice to the people of Rwanda more effectively- International courts or community courts. Community courts could be held with biased opinions as they were the ones who went through it. The international courts would probably be more fair.
