It was attended by bereaved families, government officials, UN representative in Rwanda and different diplomats. <\/p>\n<p>Minister Busingye said that Rwanda has walked a long journey and urged everyone to be watchful to avoid whoever is having intentions of sowing divisionism.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople thought UN headquarters were immune places for refuge. There are people who thought that nothing would happen to them because they worked for UN which we all believed,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know that there are employees of UN who collaborated with Interahamwe hunting fellow workers at their homes to kill them or hand them to killers. We don\u2019t oversee the justice of places where they fled but we shall do everything possible so that they are one day brought to justice,\u201d added Busingye.  <\/p>\n<p>UN was accused of failure to stop genocide despite early warnings it had received. <\/p>\n<p>On 11th April 1994, UN withdrew its troops on the peacekeeping mission in Rwanda abandoning Tutsi who had fled to ETO Kicukiro.  <\/p>\n<p>The Coordinator of One UN in Rwanda, Fod\u00e9 Ndiaye has told IGIHE that UN is ready to provide justice wherever there is evidence pinning genocide suspects. <\/p>\n<p>He also expressed solidarity with relatives of genocide victims. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we commemorate the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi, my gratitude goes to bereaved families of genocide victims. We associate with you. We are here to commemorate fallen victims and reflect on the journey genocide survivors have walked,\u201d noted Ndiaye.  <\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-28869 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/edited_14-0c128.jpg\" alt=\"The Minister of Justice and State Attorney, Johnston Busingye paying tribute to the 64 employees of the United Nations killed during the genocide\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-28870 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/edited_15-c4586.jpg\" alt=\"The Coordinator of One UN in Rwanda, Fod\u00e9 Ndiaye expressed solidarity with relatives of genocide victims\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-28868 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/edited_18-71dc3.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-28867 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/edited_22-60de0.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-28866 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/edited_23-0ebd7.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Minister of Justice and State Attorney, Johnston Busingye has said that Rwanda will do everything possible to bring to book United Nations employees who took part in the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. <\/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":[75],"byline":[170],"hashtag":[],"class_list":["post-39166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-homenews","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\/39166","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=39166"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39166\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39166"},{"taxonomy":"byline","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/byline?post=39166"},{"taxonomy":"hashtag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag?post=39166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
