Kabarebe was speaking in Kigali yesterday at a commemoration event organised to remember youth who were slain during the genocide.
He said that during the liberation struggle, former Rwanda Patriotic Army (RPA) hadn’t any form of discrimination as their ambition was to save and unite all Rwandans.
He said that their spirit was so different from that of the then government which taught the Hutu ethnic group to hate theTutsi, the hatered that led to the genocide.
Noting that the majority of former RPA was youth and stopped the genocide, Kabarebe said that today’s youth should learn from them and strive to sustain the progress the country has attained.
“You should not be satisfied and assume that everything is in place, having had genocide that took lives of more than a million in 100 days is not an issue to be simplified. It is an issue that you should always keep in mind and take lead in fighting any form of it,” he urged the youth.
He told them to avoid any trap that could lead the country into dark history like that of genocide and strive to develop the country.
