{{The United states Secretary of State John Kerry has joined Rwandans in the 20th commemoration of Genocide against ethnic Tutsi’s in which over a million lives were lost in a span of 100 days.}}
In his remarks, Kerry noted that the world should unite and bring an end to Genocide once and for all.
“We renew our commitment to rallying the international community to protect universal human rights and fundamental freedoms, prevent mass atrocities, and bring an end to genocide once and for all.”
He added, “as we reflect on one of the most tragic and horrific events in human history, we stand with the Rwandan people and are inspired by their efforts to build a brighter future for their country.”
Kerry explained that it was almost inexpressible to think that the world is now marking 20 years since the start of the Rwandan genocide, which senselessly and savagely murdered more than a million fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters.
However, “ we also reaffirm our commitment to help ensure that other countries do not face the pain and suffering Rwandans endured two decades ago.”
