When the World Collapses in a Single Morning
October 22, 1993. A medical student named Deogratias "Deo" Niyizonkiza woke up in his room at Mutaho Hospital in northern Burundi to an eerie silence. The usual morning sounds-nurses chatting, patients shuffling, the clink of medical instruments-had vanished. Within hours, he would be hiding under his bed as militiamen crashed through corridors, their machetes gleaming, their voices chanting about "warming up cockroaches"-their dehumanizing term for Tutsis like him. Two shadows appeared in his doorway, scanned the room, then moved on. By nightfall, Deo was stepping over bodies in the courtyard, the hospital ablaze, beginning a six-month odyssey through landscapes soaked in blood. This wasn't supposed to be his story. He was a third-year medical student, focused on anatomy and patient care, not survival. Yet within a single day, everything he knew dissolved into chaos, launching him on a journey that would eventually span two genocides, three continents, and the entire spectrum of human capacity for both cruelty and compassion.
