Surviving the Slaughter: The Ordeal of a Rwandan Refugee in Zaire Book

Umutesi shares her harrowing tale of life as a refugee due to the genocide in Rwanda.
She spent 4 years walking from refugee camp to camp in search of safety and security.
The book is also her attempt to record the voices of those who perished in the deadly times. Through this work she says she want the international community to realise that both Hutu and the Tutsi suffered terribly at the hands of the warring rebel groups.
Forming pseudo family, trying to organise and set up the refugee camp and risking their lives at the hands of the 'supposed' saviors; the memoir lays bare the truth of how an independent educated woman is turned into a refugee overnight.
