{For the first time in 50 years, Rwandans who lost their family members between 1963-1964 in separate massacres of Tutsis around the country, will join together to pay tribute to the 35 000 Tutsis who were massacred.}
Although the Genocide in Rwanda took place in 1994, the 35,000 Tutsis were targeted because of their ethnic group, which can justify the massacre also to be included in the chronology of Genocide against Tutsi.
In 1963, Rwandan Authorities were accusing Tutsis to be conspirators adding that they were supporting Inyenzi rebels that were fighting against the Government of Gregoire Kayibanda who was installed on power after Hutus revolution that took place between 1961 and 1962.
Since then killing Tutsis continues and thousands of them were forced to flee the Country.
50 Years passed. 35,000 Tutsis were killed between 1963 and 1964. Families of those who were killed organize a collective commemoration event that took place on Friday 27 December 2013 in Centre Christus in Remera, from 2 pm.
This is the First time these families coming together because, by before every family had its Commemorative date where family members joins together and pay tribute to their parents, sisters and sons who were killed during that separate massacre.
