Nymataa and its surrounding region suffered some of the most extensive devastation, horrifying violence that took place in 1994against the Tutsi and moderate Hutus. The genocide memorial at Nyamata Church gives a deeply saddening and moving look into the reality of the Rwandan Genocide

When the Genocide began in April of 1994 all residents of the region gathered to seek protection at the local church. They locked the iron door with a padlock to protect themselves from the marauding killer members of the Interahamwe Hutu Militia and the Rwandan Government Forces.

The killers broke down the door entered the church with rifles, grenades and machetes massacred all the people who were in the church. About 10,000 victims were killed in and around the Catholic Church compound on April 10th 1994 by the Hutu militias and in the afternoon you will return to Kigali
