The event took place in Kabirizi Cell of Rugerero Sector last week.
At the event, people gathered for a walk to remember procession which reflected the suffering Tutsi in the region faced.
Also people were explained about sites where mass murders took place. These include where teachers from Collège Inyemeramihigo and their families were murdered from.
The mourners paid tribute to the victims by laying wreaths at the banks of Sebeya River.
Speaking at the event, Innocent Kabanda, the President of Ibuka, a survivors’ umbrella in Rubavu District urged residents to shun genocide ideology.
“There are problems that continue to appear among some residents. Tutsi had lived for many years without any right in the country, and today, 24 years after the genocide some people still have genocide ideology. Why don’t they completely shun it?” Kabanda questioned.
Speaking at the event, the Director General of Community Development and Social Affairs in the Ministry of Local Governance, Sheikh Hassan Bahame, said that countrywide they registered 14 cases of genocide ideology and urged people to shun it.
He said that the genocide is an act against humanity and emphasized that it was systematically planned before being executed.
