On April 7, hundreds of Rwandans and friends of Rwanda in Senegal marked this commemoration at Place du souvenir,in the capital Dakar.
Rwanda’s Ambassador to Senegal, H.E. Ntwari Gérard thanked all the people gathered for the commemoration.
A Commemoration fire was lit by young Rwandan children symbolising hope for the future of Rwanda.
There was a minute of silence to honour the victims of the 1994 genocide against the tutsi that killed over a million lives.
“As humans we have an obligation to always remember the Genocide against the Tutsi so that it should never happen again both in Rwanda and elsewhere in the world. To undermine Genocide against the Tutsi is equivallent to deny the gravity of what happened in Rwanda. we must do more to prevent denial against the Tutsi Genocide.”
