She was killed in the genocide. She is among Rwandan heroes due to her outstanding activities in opposing Juvenal Habyarimana\u2019s dictatorial regime and fighting genocide ideology.<\/p>\n<p>Uwiringiyimna and her husband were shot dead by presidential guards, a few days after the death of President Habyarimana. <\/p>\n<p>Umuhoza is one of Uwiringiyimana\u2019s five children who live in Switzerland. As Rwandans commemorated the national heroes yesterday, she participated in laying wreaths at heroes square in Remera, Kigali.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to media, Umuhoza said that as Rwandans commemorated the heroes, the occasion had a particular meaning compelling to come from miles away and attend the event in Kigali.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cI have come for this heroes day after many years without coming here. I decided to come because I am aged 40 and my mom died at 40 too,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>For Umuhoza, commemorating Rwandan heroes including her mother is a gesture of respect, and she says that the most crucial thing is that heroes\u2019 activities should be replicated by all Rwandans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an act that should not be done by a certain individual; it is an activity that all Rwandans should strive for as they want the development. Love each other, avoid discrimination and respect each other as human beings,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>{{Memories of her mother}}<\/p>\n<p>Umuhoza said she remembers the teachings of her mother as \u2018to love people without segregation.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKindness, love of people, respect both rich and poor, no racialism, but take people as human being. That\u2019s what she left behind,\u201d she said insisting that her mother inherited her children to love people.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to being Prime Minister in July 1993, Uwiringiyimana served as Education Minister. In her services, she opposed different discriminatory programmes by the then government in education.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-23926 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/mos_0066-9c5ed.jpg\" alt=\"Umuhoza (R) and her family members commemorate national heroes \" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-23925 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/1-1933-b14a8.jpg\" alt=\"Umuhoza (C), Minister of Sports and Culture, Julienne Uwacu (R) and the Chairperson of the Chancellery for Heroes, National Orders and Decorations of Honor (CHENO), Pierre Damien Habumuremyi.\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-23924 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/mos_0061-65d26.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cLove people without discrimination\u201d, is the first sentence that Marie Christine Umuhoza recalls when asked about memories of her mother and former Prime Minister, Agathe Uwiringiyimana, one of the heroes that Rwanda commemorates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[72],"byline":[170],"hashtag":[],"class_list":["post-36913","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-featured-news-home","byline-igihe"],"bylines":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"contributors":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"featured_image":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36913","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36913"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36913\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36913"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36913"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36913"},{"taxonomy":"byline","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/byline?post=36913"},{"taxonomy":"hashtag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag?post=36913"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
