“Fate seems to scourge some people with her furies, while it ravishes others with her graces with none having done absolutely nothing to suffer the furies or merit the graces.”

Rwandan poet and diplomat of the late 20th century, Habyarimana was a voice for peace and reconciliation in post-genocide Rwanda. Her work often explored healing and unity, blending traditional Rwandan themes with contemporary struggles.
