Welcome to this special edition of Democracy in Focus, a collaboration between New Narratives and Front Page Africa. I’m Anthony Stephens.

As plans for Liberia’s war and economic crimes court get underway, we’re running a series of special interviews with Liberian and international experts and stakeholders about how the courts could work.

In this interview, I speak with Rwanda’s Ambassador to Liberia, Rosemary Mbabazi after a thirty first anniversary commemoration in Monrovia, of its 1994 genocide of the Tutsi people.

Many consider Rwanda a post-conflict success story. It’s shaken off the horrors of the genocide that killed as many as one million of its citizens.

In the years since, Rwanda has instituted a robust program of reconciliation, justice and commemoration, and a strong rule of law that has attracted investors and delivered strong economic development to its people. Many justice activists think it has a lot of lessons for our own country.

Funding for this podcast comes from the Swedish embassy in Liberia and the American Jewish World Service. See more of our collaborations with media in West Africa at www.newnarratives.org
