Mobilization of community members to commit murders continues in government controlled areas.

As the massacres continued in government controlled areas, children of mixed-ethnicity families born to Tutsi fathers, were rounded up and put into a home guarded by Interahamwe militia, only to be massacred on 8 June 1994. Mothers who tried to protect their children were also killed. Today’s episode also describes meetings held between 9-10 June 1994 attended by top government officials, discussing exactly what was necessary to expedite the killings of the surviving Tutsis across the country.  On Friday, 10 June 1994, Interahamwe militia burst into the St. Charles Lwanga Catholic Parish in Nyamirambo under the guise of “evacuating” orphans, instead, 400 Tutsi refugees were murdered at the Parish, many of them children.
