Reportage Rwanda pays tribute to Genocide victims, roots for unity

In a visit marked by reflection and remembrance, Reportage Rwanda on April 10 honoured victims at Nyanza Genocide Memorial, confronting the painful history of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi and reaffirming the role of unity and truth in shaping Rwanda’s future.

The memorial is the final resting place for more than 105,000 victims, according to guides. Among them are over 3,000 people who were killed at the site after being abandoned by the UN Assistance Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR) at ETO Kicukiro – an enduring symbol of the failures of the international community. The site also holds remains brought from across Kicukiro District.

The delegation, composed of members from diverse backgrounds, was taken through the history leading up to the Genocide against the Tutsi, including the socio-political forces that fuelled division and violence.
