We will focus on AERG history and its resilience process,\u201d he said.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the youth that survived genocide, we have a role to play providing explanations via social and mainstream media platforms,\u201d added Niyomutabazi. <\/p>\n<p>The museum will be based at the University of Rwanda Huye Campus where AERG was born on 20th October 1996.  <\/p>\n<p>It will feature three rooms where the first will be dedicated for advisory services, helping those experiencing trauma, the second will be reserved for written pieces, books, pictures and documentary films on history and activities of AERG. The third section of the museum will be equipped with computers connected to internet where AERG members will get training on technology and providing the truth about Rwanda\u2019s history with the aim of addressing denial and trivialization of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi. <\/p>\n<p>Clarisse Mbuguje, one of the members, said that playing an active role in sharing information about the genocide through the media will be a milestone towards building the desired Rwanda. <\/p>\n<p>Senator Gertrude Kazarwa who attended the event commended the project and reminded the youth on patriotism. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe country was liberated by the youth and we are now in a secure country.
