The ceremony held at the beginning of the 25th commemoration of the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi, was marked by a moment of silence and light the flame of hope.
Felix Bagambiki, representing Rwanda in DRC held a talk on genocide history narrating how Tutsi were killed and persecuted at different times since 1959 until the execution of genocide in 1994 by the then governments.
Bagambiki explained how the international community abandoned Tutsi at the time and commended RPA soldiers that fought tooth and nail to stop genocide.
He recalled how RPF lead Rwanda in the right direction after stopping genocide noting that Rwanda is moving fast in development with apparent transformations.
The ceremony was concluded by displaying a film dubbed ‘7 jours à Kigali- La Semaine où le Rwanda a basculé’. Produced by Jeune Afrique journalist Mehdi Ba in collaboration with Jeremy Frey., the film on the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi is made of testimonies of genocide survivors and foreigners who were in Rwanda during the genocide.
