In the aftermath of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi and afterwards, MIZERO suffered harshly due to the consequences of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi.

The event was marked by the remittal of awards to one of those people. His unfortunate experience of isolation, along with his painstaking journey out, led him to streamlined thoughts about others who may be experiencing similar socio- psychological conditions.
