Malawi hosted a significant number of Rwandans who fled from the carnage of 1994.
Rwanda was a divided country, despite having attaining independence from Belgian rule in 1962.
Ethnic divisions fomented by colonialism continued to hold the country hostage and came to the peak in the first half of 1994, to painful consequences.
