Crossing Continents: Rwanda/Italy

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

In a village at the foothills of the Italian Alps live 41 Rwandan children. They were brought to Italy for their safety at the time of the genocide seven years ago. All have now been adopted by local families. But these children still have family in their homeland; some have fathers who have not seen or heard from their children since 1994. Yet Italy says they are now Italians and will not be returned. The Rwandan government accuses them of kidnapping and is preparing a legal case to get them back. Olenka Frenkiel investigates.
