	Rwandese Patriotic Front - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On 23 January 1991 the RPF captured Ruhengeri, freeing numerous political prisoners and capturing a large amount of weapons and equipment, before retreating back to the forests that evening.
		One group moved west to Ruhengeri and engaged government forces there, although they would make little progress and were more likely a defensive force securing the right flank of the RPF advance south.
		In the south-west of the country French forces from Operation Turquoise controlled a large area, which was given over to the RPF on 21 August 1994, thus giving the RPF complete control of the country.

		Ruhengeri Prefecture, in the northwest of Rwanda, was the stronghold of the radical Hutu factions that created Interahamwe, responsible for carrying out the 1994 war and genocide.
		Ruhengeri has traditionally been an area of comparative wealth in Rwanda; the Prefecture was previously a net exporter of food.
		In conjunction with the Ruhengeri Region Sanitaire, SCF plans to run a sensibilisation programme on hygiene and sanitation in the imudugudu followed by distribution of plastic sheeting and tools needed for the construction of latrines.

		Ruhengeri Province has several donor-funded development programs that are contributing to poverty reduction in the region.

		Most of their leaders are natives of Gisenyi and Ruhengeri; former President Juvénal Habyarimana was originally from Gisenyi and had allowed fellow northerners to monopolise political power and access to economic and educational opportunities.
		The population of the northwest is overwhelmingly Hutu and the region is the cradle of the hard-line ideology known as Hutu extremism, whose terms defined the genocide.
		On 6 April, officers and the governor of Ruhengeri brought the soldiers in front of the victims' relatives in Ntarama for a public lashing.

	Rwanda: Ending the silence
		Given the trend towards holding civilian detainees in military detention centres, for example in Mukamira military camp in Ruhengeri, it is likely that some are held there but it is virtually impossible to confirm their whereabouts.
		For example, one man arrested on 22 January 1997 and detained in Muhoza military camp in Ruhengeri for eight days reportedly bore severe marks of torture after having been whipped on his chest; other detainees have also had to be transferred to hospital for medical treatment after being released from Muhoza.
		Testimonies received from Ruhengeri and Gisenyi in particular, for example from people whose close relatives have been killed, reflect a sense of despair and appeal to the outside world for action to break the silence.
