7 APRIL 1994:  R.I.P. to the 800,000 victims of the RWANDAN GENOCIDE   Mothers sing a lullaby / ... / The sensuous voices swish and swirl / Around shrubs and overgrown grass / Hiding mountains of decapitated dead / And the glint of machetes / That slashed shrieking throats. / ... / Mothers maintain the melody of life / Capturing wistful wind / To sing strength into   Sarah Kugili

(250,000 of the 800,000 victims of the genocide lie under these sombre red slabs at the Kigali Genocide Memorial Centre)

Long Day

This is not a majestic scene like the Avenue of the Baobabs in my last post, but a slice of everyday life on Madagascar. Many work in the rice fields, but in this area, there is another option. We found many families camped out in their favorite spots along the river bank digging and sifting through the dirt looking for sapphires. This family is heading home after a long, back-breaking day...

Himba Lady.

Sitting inside Himba huts can be a little stifling, they're hot as hell, smoky and have absolutely no light in them, except for the small amount that creeps through the door that you inadvertently bang you head on, on the way in and out. Nevertheless a very cool experience.

This is my submission for #africantuesday   " People of Africa #rememberingrwanda   "

Photo Theme announcement for #africantuesday April 22th
Today we commemorate the genocide in Rwanda 20 years ago with the theme "*People of Africa #RememberingRwanda*". Post photos of 
the different peoples of Africa. Please keep the photos family and work viewing friendly. The photos must have been taken in Africa. If you post photos taken by other people, you must state so and state the author if possible.

Important: share your photos to "public" and circle +African Tuesday or else your photo will not be considered for one of the top 5 photos of the week (we cannot re-share it for the theme if you don’t - a Google+ requirement)

To submit your photos to the theme:
1. tag #AfricanTuesday " People of Africa #RememberingRwanda "
2. include the curator team ( +Morkel Erasmus , +Dick Whitlock and +Grobler du Preez ) so we can pick up on your posts easily.
The top 5 contributors will be added to the AfricanTuesday Top 5 circle and one of the top 5 photos will be the banner for the +African Tuesday  page for a week!
