{{A Belgian woman Martine Beckers who lost her relative during the 1994 genocide against Tutsi’s in Rwanda has been shocked by learning that she is invited to attend the 20th commemoration events in Rwanda.}}
Martine Beckers was invited by the Belgian government to attend the 20th Commemoration of genocide against ethnic Tutsi’s in Rwanda scheduled for April 7.
Her relative killed on April 9, during the genocide was married to a Rwandan Tutsi man.
Martine Beckers says she was shocked, traumatized and hurt by this invitation as she wrote in a text message(“surprise”, “choquée”,”blessée”).
Beckers who has been to Rwanda twice (2000 and 2004) wondered whether this invitation was not politically motivated.
