A journey of transformation
Joseph Sebarenzi was a Tutsi who fled his homeland before the 1994 genocide, returned to be elected speaker of the Rwandan parliament, then was forced into exile again
God Sleeps in Rwanda: a journey of transformation by Joseph Sebarenzi with Laura Ann Mullane. Atria Books. ISBN: 978 141657 573 3. £18.99.
The European subjection and colonisation of Africa has left a brutal legacy. From the indefensible abuses of enslavement and apartheid to the wanton plundering of Africa’s rich resources, it is no wonder that this is a continent still in recovery. Another terrible legacy is evidenced from the colonisers’ policy of ‘divide and rule’, not least – as Joseph Sebarenzi shows in this book – in Rwanda.
Everyone who thinks they know about peace, forgiveness and reconciliation – and those who don’t – should read this book… and learn.
