The Commonwealth secretariat’s Deputy Secretary General in charge of development, Ranford Smith has condemned the occurrence of a genocide war in any part of the globe; he gave his reactions at Gisozi Memorial Park where he led a four man delegation to pay tribute to those killed in the war.
Speaking shortly after lectures on the country’s history particularly referring to the 1994 genocide against Tutsi, Smith explained that it is a painful experience that befell the nation and that survivors should have hope and progress with their lives.
“Its quiet paining that’s why this experience should serve a lesson to all and I hope the war will never happen again,” Smith pointed out.
The Deputy Secretary General added that in the humanity nature, all people should draw from this experience and develop humanity cooperation.
“We should all know that we are all human beings and future humanity lies in cooperating with each other’s dignities and rights,” he said.
The delegation is in the country to attend a weeklong conference bringing together members of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association.
