God sleeps in Rwanda : a journey of transformation

Joseph Sebarenzi's parents, seven siblings, and countless other family members were among 800,000 Tutsi brutally murdered over the course of ninety days in 1994 by extremist Rwandan Hutu'an efficiency that exceeded even that of the Nazi Holocaust. His father sent him away to school in Congo as a teenager, telling him, "If we are killed, you will survive." When Sebarenzi returned to Rwanda after the genocide, he was elected speaker of parliament, only to be forced into a daring escape again when he learned he was the target of an assassination plot. Poetic and deeply moving, God Sleeps in Rwanda shows us how the lessons of Rwanda can prevent future tragedies from happening all over the world. Readers will be inspired by the eloquence and wisdom of a man who has every right to be bitter and hateful but chooses instead to live a life of love, compassion, and forgiveness.

  • ""The efficiency of the Hutu killers in the Rwandan genocide of 1994 exceeded that even of the Nazi Holocaust. It happened in front of the world's eyes, every moment broadcast on television - but nothing was done. Among the 800,000 Tutsis killed were Joseph Sebarenzi's parents and seven siblings. God Sleeps in Rwanda follows Sebarenzi's return to Rwanda as an elected speaker of parliament, his attempts to reform the ravaged country, and the assassination plot that once again forced him into exile. Today he educates the world about Rwanda, working to prevent these atrocities from ever happening again. Speaker of the Rwandan parliament from 1997 to 2000, Joseph Sebarenzi now lives in Virginia and lectures in conflict management. His parents and seven siblings were among the thousands brutally murdered in the Tutsi genocide."--Publisher's description."
  • "A Rwandan Tutsi relates a harrowing tale of survival and reconciliation about returning to his homeland after the 1994 genocide, being elected speaker of the Rwanda Parliament, and being forced into exile once again soon after."
