"By the Time You Come Back, the Hutus Will Have Finished Us" is a powerful memoir of survival in the face of unspeakable atrocities. Jean Baptiste was born in former Musange Commune, Gikongoro, called today Nyamagabe in southwestern Rwanda, during the worst massacres of Tutsi in the area. Jean Baptiste recounts his experience of growing up in a hate-filled environment and living under an oppressive regime that ultimately led to the genocide of over one million Tutsi in Rwanda in 1994. When the genocide started in April, Jean Baptiste was in Kigali working as an international freelance journalist for the Inter Press News Agency (IPS). His story is one of resilience, courage, and unimaginable loss as he shares the harrowing details of his family's massacre and his own narrow escape. Jean survived against all odds and in this compelling and deeply personal account, he sheds light on one of the darkest periods in human history. Serving as a testament to the human spirit's strength and endurance. Jean Baptiste's hope is that his story will inspire others and help prevent such atrocities from ever happening again.
