As a teenager in Cairo 16 years ago, Myriam Abdelaziz was haunted by images of the Rwandan genocide. She had trouble comprehending the scope of the massacres, seeing them in photographs and on television. An estimated 800,000 people were killed by the Hutu, most of them Tutsi or Hutu moderates, many of them butchered with machetes.
