Unidentified person lays wreath with words containing genocide ideology at Ntarama Memorial

It is said that the words written on the wreath read ‘We will always Forget you.”

The wreath was laid at the memorial yesterday as residents in Ntarama sector commemorated for the 25th time the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, an event that was preceded by a walk to remember.

Following commemoration activities, a genocide survivor who stayed around inspecting the place where relatives are buried saw the wreath, got traumatized and started ripping the wreath. Residents rushed to the scene, assembled parts of the wreath where they found genocide ideology words.

The Executive Secretary of Ntarama sector, Marthe Uwamugira has told IGIHE that security officials were alerted and are hunting for the suspect.

“We are still searching from those who took pictures and sharing information that might lead to the arrest of the culprit. We have also alerted security officials,” she said.
Uwamugira warned residents against genocide ideology and urged them to be watchful reporting whoever is identified with such destructive ideas.
