The small Central African state of Rwanda made a surprise reappearance in the headlines in the past few days, with government plans to use it as processing centre for people seeking asylum in the UK. They’ve been welcomed as a means of protecting borders and fighting people traffickers, but condemned by refugee support organisations as leading to ‘more human suffering, chaos and at huge expense…’ Concern has also been expressed about Rwanda’s own human rights record. Our guest today is a survivor of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. The fighting has long since ended, but the trauma can still reach down through decades to cause continuing pain. As a child during the genocide, Jean Pierre Sibomana was maimed in an explosion which killed his mother. He’s faced many struggles, but that devastating event was eventually to help set a vision for his life. He’s in Wales this week, meeting a couple who’ve kept in touch with him since he was in a Rwandan orphanage when he was eleven.
