Rwandan genocide (1994)
On the Decolonization of Africa map as “Kigali, April 1994”
Apr–Jul 1994 — In the very weeks South Africa votes, some 800,000 Rwandans, overwhelmingly Tutsi, are murdered in a hundred days while the world does nothing. The era’s darkest hour. This atlas can only name it; it deserves an atlas of its own. Remember them.
