English edition · Memoir
The English edition of his testimony: a fifteen-year-old boy, a hill called Mugina, and the afternoon that took forty-three members of his family. Written without self-pity and without softening, it gives back to the victims what statistics remove — names, faces, and a household.

« Ils m'ont tué moi et toute ma famille sur une colline du Rwanda. Mais je ne suis pas mort. » The original French testimony on the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi — devastating, necessary, and written so that nothing can erase the memory.

Inside the book
The book refuses phrases like 'tribal violence' and 'ancient hatreds'. It names a date, a hill, an afternoon, and forty-three people.
Surgery after surgery, a lost eye, a face rebuilt. He writes about physical pain as honestly as about grief — and about the wound no operation reaches.
Learning French well enough to write it down meant returning to Mugina on purpose, every day, alone at a desk in Europe.
He calls denial the last stage of genocide: an attempt to kill the dead a second time. The book stands as evidence that cannot be argued away.
