Summary of Oral History

In 1972, Audace Ndayisaba was studying at the Teacher training school of Rutovu. He was in 7th grade. On April 29th, they heard rumors saying that the Mulele invaded the country. During a meeting in Rumonge, men armed with machetes started to kill the attendants. Hearing the bad news, Tutsis and Hutus started to discriminate against each other. Hutu students were taken away to be killed. Audace Ndayisaba escaped and passed through the bush. However, his father was taken away. He was killed together with neighbors. To arrest them, they were told to wear UPRONA's dress and go to a UPRONA meeting. They went and arrived at Gisagazuba and began to shout UPRONA Oyee, and they rounded up all Hutus who were in that place. They targeted Hutus whom they knew were smart or had something important to do in life. Audace Ndayisaba didn’t go back to school because he got support from his father.
