Hutu and Tutsi survive and return home together
In Rwanda's Runda town a Tutsi Herman and a Hutu Gasana escape the brutal killings by militias and survive three months in banana groves and ruined streets. They recount neighbors killed and the trek back toward Kigali, where rebels hold the capital and aid workers note limited revenge killings. A rebel fighter later rescues a silent boy found amid the rubble.
