Host Necole also talked about an event hosted by SFU's Institute of Black and Afro Diaspora Research and Engagement(IBADRE) in Collaboration with Building Bridges with Rwanda AND Remember Rwanda 25 Year Legacy Project (RR25). This symposium and dialogue discussed  Rwanda’s transitional justice experience in the aftermath of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.

To learn more about transitional justice, here's a  link to a 2009 SFU thesis paper called “Reconciliation in post-genocide Rwanda: the transitional justice paradox - written by Emily Kent
