KIGALI (Reuters) - Every weekday, Aline Uwase Turatsinze gets up, washes her face and rides a motorbike to the site where more than 60 members of her family were buried after being murdered.

The quiet woman with the long braids is a guide at Rwanda's genocide museum, a memorial to the killing that claimed 800,000 Tutsi and moderate Hutu lives after the then-president's plane was shot down on April 7, 1994.
