Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Iyakaremye, thank you very much for agreeing to appear before our committee today and for sharing your insights into the aftermath of the Rwandan genocide.
I understand that rape was a reward the leaders gave to those who killed, and that estimates of the number of children born of rape are anywhere from 5,000 to almost 20,000. Rape likely occurs in all wars, but apparently it was more widespread in Rwanda. In your opinion, why was this the case?
