{While he was the guest of a program in Côte d’Ivoire, Stromae broke down in tears before the cameras by addressing the delicate subject of the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi.}
As reported by the French music site Charts in France, the Belgian-Rwandan singer was the special guest on the set of the show on C’Midi RTI1 chain tour in Abidjan in May.
After the broadcast of a short report dealing with reconciliation in Rwanda, the presenter invited Stromae to rule on the subject.
“It’s horrible. (…) It still affects me to see that we still cannot live together. And that’s really hard, “spoke Paul Van Haver real name, before bursting into tears in front of an excited audience.
Stromae family was affected by the Rwandan genocide, for his father and much of his family were killed in April 1994 in Rwanda.
The 30-year-old artist admits it was the third time he was crying in an interview from the beginning of his African tour, which began on May 13 in Dakar, Senegal. “The first time was in Cape Verde. (…) Whenever I say we cannot live together, well I cry, “said the singer, still under the influence of emotion.
