But in \u003cem\u003eThe Snowfall\u003c\/em\u003e, he goes far beyond a frontline memoir. He delves into the socio-political structure that enabled the genocide, demonstrating that the murder of a million Tutsi -over 300,000 of them children-was not a spontaneous tragedy but a long-planned crime rooted in decades of ideology and systemic discrimination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe narrative of \u003cem\u003eThe Snowfall\u003c\/em\u003e begins on April 3, 1994, just days before the Genocide Against the Tutsi in Rwanda.
