Rwanda concludes week-long mourning of Genocide victims
Rwanda on Wednesday concludes the week of national mourning with a ceremony dedicated to remembrance of politicians killed during the Genocide against the Tutsi in 1994 for opposing that genocidal ideology.
The event is held at Rebero Genocide memorial site in Kicukiro District. It is a resting place to politicians who were killed during the genocide either because they were Tutsis or were against the brutal regime and became victims of their political views because they were portrayed to be an impediment to the planned genocide.
The politicians were members of political parties such as Liberal Party (PL), Social Democratic Party (PSD) or from Republican Democratic Mouvement (MDR), which called for peace and reconciliation, pushed for political dialogue and condemned hate ideology that was being promoted by the then genocidal regime.
They include Joseph Kavaruganda, Faustin Rucogoza, Landouald Ndasingwa, Charles Kayiranga, Aloys Niyoyita, Venantie Kabageni, Andre Kameya, Jean De La Croix Rutaremara, Augustin Rwayitare, Frederic Nzamurambaho, Felicien Ngango, and Jean Baptiste Mushimiyimana.
Meanwhile, commemoration activities will continue for 100 days until July 3.
