The Kibuye memorial church is one of the many churches in Rwanda that has been restored to a functioning place of worship. The brooding stone edifice perches high on a cliff, overlooking the main road into town. The stained glass windows, once blown out by grenades, have been replaced by mosaics of lively colors. In most scholarly accounts, Kibuye is mentioned as one of the most decimated provinces, and the Kibuye church massacre tops many a list of unthinkable acts - over eleven thousand Tutsis flocked to the church, and all were slaughtered within a matter of days.

Wonderful Pictures,
I was a British Soldier in Rwanda in July to November 1994, a beautiful country, I was at the church in October 1994 and have wriiten some stories.
I will never forget this thought provoking Country and want to visit myself one day to Kigali, Ruhengiri and Kitabi.
