How Dare the Sun Rise: Memoirs of a War Child by Sandra Uwiringiyimana, Abigail Pesta
This is a memoir about Uwiringiyimana’s life after a massacre in Gatumba that killed 20% of the camp, including the authors little sister.
“I remember thinking: how dare the sun rise, as if it were any other day, after such a gruesome night.”
“I hope this book inspires more people to stand up for the voiceless. Don’t let your silence be another person‘s death. Fight for each other is the only way we all win.”
Justice still has not been had for Gatumba. The man who admitted to it is still Vice President of the National Assembly in Burundi.
