The walk concluded at BK Arena, where a vigil for the 32nd Commemoration of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi took place, with the President and First Lady joining participants in honoring the victims.
The walk began at the Gasabo District offices and was attended by youth from various sectors, artists, social media influencers, journalists, football players, film actors, government officials, and other members of the community.
April 7 is recognized globally as the International Day for Reflection in the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.
According to the census conducted by the Ministry of Local Government between 2000 and 2002, 1,074,017 Tutsis were killed over a span of 100 days, from April 7 to July 1994.
The 2004 report documented where the victims lived, their ages, their names, and in many cases, the circumstances of their deaths.
At the start of the 32nd Commemoration Week and the 100 days of remembrance, President Kagame reassured that the dark chapter in Rwanda’s history would never happen again in Rwanda.
President Kagame also highlighted that remembrance carries deep significance for Rwanda, serving as a way for the nation to overcome divisions that once threatened to destroy it.
