Théophile Ruhorahoza is an intensely personal and gripping memoir that recounts the author’s survival during one of the darkest episodes in African history. Ruhorahoza provides a detailed, first-hand account of the harrowing journey faced by Rwandan refugees as they fled into the treacherous jungles of Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo) following the Rwandan Genocide. Witnessing the brutal pursuit by the Rwandan Patriotic Front, the mass killings, and the horrors of life in makeshift refugee camps, the author paints a vivid and heart-wrenching picture of survival under the most inhumane conditions. This book is both a powerful testimony to the resilience of the human spirit and a stark reminder of the atrocities that can unfold when the world turns a blind eye to suffering.
