How do the surviving Hutu and Tutsi manage to live together after the 1994 Rwandan genocide? The German NGO Welthungerhilfe sent me on an assignment to Rwanda in 2014 to report on its agriculture projects and their evaluation. While talking openly about ethnicity and 1994 is a taboo, reconciliation happens in daily life: When Hutu and Tutsi neighbors manage their rice plot and vegetable gardens together, or when genocide widows brew ananas beer so that their families and adopted orphans survive without a second income.
