Building a community: Rwandans in Zambia

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

More than 6,500 Rwandans live in Zambia, many are refugees from the genocide of the 1990s. In April, several Rwandan shopkeepers were the victims of two days of violent attacks. One month on, Akwasi Sarpong has been to meet some of the Rwandan community and their Zambian hosts. Picture shows Rwandan women in traditional clothes sing during mass at St Joseph's Catholic Parish, Lusaka. Once a month, the Rwandan members of the congregation sing mass in their native Kinyarwanda. (Credit: Âé¶¹Éç)
