After the departure of the last U.N. soldier, Venuste and some 5,000 others who were gathered on the school grounds were forced to walk a jeering gauntlet of Hutu militiamen, soldiers and civilians wielding machetes, guns and other weapons.
Mara tu baada ya askari wa Umoja wa Mataifa kuondoka, Venuste na watu wengine wapatao 5000 waliokuwa kwenye viwanja vya shule hiyo walilazimishwa kutembea chini ya ulinzi wa wanamgambo wa Kihutu waliokuwa wakiwadhihaki, pia walikuwepo askari na raia waliobeba mapanga, bunduki na silaha nyingine.
