Ibuka: There is a non-governmental group known as Ibuka that represents the surviving Tusti interests. From 1996 to the present, Ibuka has conducted interviews in several provinces to record a catalog of genocidal events. In Kibuye province, they conducted a household census of the entire province. Kibuye province is particularly important for it represents one of the locales with the largest pre-genocide Tutsi population. This area also contained one fo the most sustained resistance efforts against the genocide (which took place in Bisesero). The outsome was an effort that identified approximately 60,000 victims of genocide. The organization's goal was and is to document every killing that took place during 1994 to facilitate truth telling, healing for survivors and historical recorders for researchers and lawyers. They meticulously record the victim, the perpetrator, the method of killing, and the location of relevant activity. **Click here to view Kibuye Dictionary Data
