Hunting and killing Rwandan refugees in Zaire-Congo - Ep. 1: Resumption of war in eastern Zaire

Episode 1: Resumption of war in eastern ZaireIn 1996, MSF attempts to alert the international community about the resurgence of conflict in eastern Zaire, as witnessed by teams on the ground. The perpetrators of the Rwandan Tutsi genocide, living in refugee camps, threaten and attack the Zairean civilian population. The same perpetrators are holding Rwandan refugees that fled the 1994 genocide, hostage within the camps. The new Rwandan regime and its Zairian ally, the Alliance of Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Congo-Zaire (ADFL), launches counter attacks on the refugee camps.  This podcast series is produced and mixed by Andrea Rangecroft. Editorial direction is from Nancy Barrett, Laurence Binet, Martin Saulnier, and Rebecca Golden Timsar.  The narrator is Nick Owen. The extracts are read by Danielle Stagg and Matthew Wade. Music is by Lost Harmonies and Peter SendbergPhoto credits : © Wim Van Cappellen A special thanks to Rachel Kiddell-Monroe.  This MSF Speaking Out podcast is based on an original MSF case study called ‘The Hunting and Killing of Rwandan Refugees in Zaire-Congo: 1996-1997’.
