Martin Kobler, Chief of MONUSCO, is calling for tolerance on the occasion of the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the 1994 Genocide Against Tutsi.
In a press release, Martin Kobler said “Today, Rwanda and the whole world still remember the atrocities of the genocide committed in Rwanda 21 years ago. The commemoration of this sad page in human history is a heartbreaking reminder of the need for building peace together”
He reminded that in 1995, the UN made an awareness raising appeal to help avert acts of genocide in future.
The International Day of Reflection on the Genocide in Rwanda has been commemorated every year since 2004 to avoid the mistakes of the past.
“Sowing the seeds of peace today will help avert wars and genocides tomorrow. Together, we can build a peaceful world for the future generations,” concluded Martin Kobler.
