Mass graves are still being found in Rwanda, 30 years after the genocide in which extremist Hutus killed an estimated 800,000 Tutsis in the Central African country.
The diggers’ hoes scrape the brown soil, looking for — and often finding — human bone fragments. The women then wipe the bone pieces with their hands as others watch in solemn silence.
Rwandan ID cards no longer indicate a person's ethnicity, and lessons about the genocide are part of the curriculum in schools. Hundreds of community projects, backed by the government or civic groups, focus on uniting Rwandans, who join in somber commemorations every April to mark the anniversary of the genocide. Today, serious crimes fueled by ethnic hatred are rare in this small country, where Hutus, Tutsis and the ethnic Twa people live side by side.
