Currently, the Rwandans have tried to look past the events that occurred in the mid 1990’s. The Tutsi’s returned to Rwanda and the two societies try to handle living near each other as much as possible. The government has been trying to do their best to prevent another genocide from happening. This government, “the post-genocide government, has pursued a policy of unity and reconciliation, this has made considerable advances” (The Legacies of Genocide). However, the people who have been affected by this massacre, like the survivors, are threatened even today, and the people who did these crimes of violence and rape are still having difficulties trying to build up their lives again. Many people “are impoverished and face complex health problems, such as HIV/AIDS, as a direct result of the violence perpetrated against them during the genocide” (The Legacies of Genocide). This shows how much the genocide has made an impact on this country and how “the legacy of genocide touches almost every sector of Rwandan society: survivors, the government, perpetrators and refugees who returned to Rwanda after 1994” (The Legacies of Genocide).
