Rwanda Reborn
( More about event)
PHOTOGRAPHY AND TEXT BY MORGAN COURTNEY
In 2006, I spent six months working for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in the town of Gisenyi, in the northwest of Rwanda, along the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). My work was centered both on collaborating with the refugee youth to provide programming and monitoring the return of Rwandan Hutu, including former combatants, to their homes. Through this, I had access to a unique view of the Great Lakes crisis; I both witnessed the hope of Rwandans returning to their towns and villages, and saw the suffering and dignity of the uprooted Congolese who wanted so desperately to return home.
