Immaculée Ilibagiza



"Left to Tell "recounts Immaculée Ilibagiza’s experience during the 1994 Rwandan genocide. She survived hidden for 91 days with seven other women in a small bathroom, no larger than 3 feet (0.91 m) long and 4 feet (1.2 m) wide. The bathroom was concealed in a room behind a wardrobe in the home of a Hutu pastor. During the genocide, most of Ilibagiza’s family was killed by Hutu soldiers: her mother, her father, and her two brothers. Besides herself, the only other survivor in her family was her brother Aimable, who was studying out of the country in Senegal and did not know the war was going on

  1. many believe that the Rwanda civil war and subsequent genocide were (inadvertently) the result of US Policy and intervention.
