They must preserve the unity they have today, and strive for lasting peace, development, security, and stability in their country,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>The conflict in Sudan, which began in April 2023, involves fighting between the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and government forces. It has already claimed over 24,000 lives and displaced more than 13 million people. Civilian property and infrastructure have also been devastated.<\/p>\n<p>In his message to the people of Sudan, Ambassador Musa described Rwanda as a clear example of how a nation can recover and thrive after going through extreme turmoil.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-85915 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/ambasaderi_wa_sudani_ari_gushyira_indabo_ku_rwibutso_rwa_jenoside_rwa_kigali_ruri_ku_gisozi-fc4e2.jpg\" alt=\"H.E.

We in Sudan can also achieve this,&#8221; he emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>A Sudanese national, Rwan Eljack, shared her impressions from the memorial visit, saying she was deeply moved by what she saw and learned, especially in contrast to Rwanda\u2019s current state of peace and progress.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What I saw was truly heartbreaking, but I believe everyone who visits this place leaves with a lesson. As Sudanese youth, we\u2019ve learned that even after a dark chapter, there is hope for rebuilding. We believe that even our two-year-long war will one day end,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>The Kigali Genocide Memorial, located in Gisozi, is the final resting place of over 250,000 victims of the 1994
