Rwanda has worked hard (see this blog Dec. 11-13 posts) at recovering and moving on from the calamity of 1994, where up to one million people of the group called "Tutsi" were killed in masses by extremists in the other group called "Hutu."
Forgiveness has been urged on the few Tutsi who remain, but it's not easy. Some Hutus have confessed, others not. But apparently they are intermixed to the point where some people are living among murderers of their family members.
It's remarkable. Go here for The Guardian's contemporary story of this effort to leave the past behind, but only if you are prepared to endure some grisly details.
