Summary/Abstract: Genocide in Rwanda occurred in 1994. Between 800 000 and one million people died. In 2012, different commemorations took place. Between past and future, Rwanda is looking for a new way to reconstruct itself. Nevertheless, one step is a burning point for the country: it is reconciliation.

This article proposes to underline the sense of reconciliation in Rwanda, after genocide. In fact, in 2012, the political power signed the end of Gacaca (local jurisdictions in place to judge the genocide). As the Gacaca ended, the reconciliation had been also proclaimed. But what do people think about this proclamation?
