For me, Remembrance is a profound act of Love. It’s immense love for survivors, and acknowledgement of the love taken, the absence felt, the words unspoken and the voices longed for. It’s also profoundly about love for this country & consequently, its security. #Kwibuka28

When the foreigners leave, the world will pretend not to notice. Nature will bear us witness. The rivers carrying ours will know no borders. The skies will weep with us. The April rain will drown our blood. For many time will stop. For others it will be painfully slow.

My thoughts are with the American people who continue to fuel ambiguity around the Genocide against the Tutsi. How many int’l days of reflection it will take for them to stop negligently making room for denial and doubt remains to be seen. Mwibuke Mwisuzuma dore Murakuze.

28 years ago the Rwandan genocide began—a massacre of more than 800K Tutsi & moderate Hutu in an organized murder campaign. My thoughts are with the Rwandan people as they remember this horrific crime & mourn the searing loss of their loved ones.

In the beautiful country of Simón Bolívar, where Amb. Gatete presented his credentials to H.E Nicolás Maduro, President of #Venezuela . Rwanda and Venezuela have plenty in common, most notable of which is a thousand sprawling hills and warm, friendly people.

Takeaway from 🇷🇼's statement: 🔹Rwanda categorically rejects allegations by DRC that Rwanda supports M23. These are pretexts to externalize the conflict for domestic political gains. 🔹Rwanda has absolutely no interest in destabilizing DRC. 🔹Cease hate speech & provocations.

my favourite prof had us over and told us we could pick any & as many books as we wanted, as parting gifts 🥹 made me reflect about how one of the most precious things one can have is a great teacher. someone who asks, listens, values, challenges, mentors you—invaluable.

Genocide denial is not static, it’s constantly being revitalized. How has denial evolved and how do we detect and counter it? Thursday, 13th April at 6:30pm, join Amb @onduhungirehe and @DodoPicard to shed light on this & more. Link: 👇🏽

This is just so sad. This kid never stood a chance on the home-front. It’s on the State to give him that chance. Before he was a ‘juvenile offender’ he was a victim of criminal negligence. Prosecution has immense collateral consequences, wonder how many kids fell into the cracks.

@SamuelBaker_B @RIB_Rw The said juvenile offender was born in 2008, he committed a crime in November 2022 when he was 14 years. Under Rwanda Law, a child of 14 can be held criminally liable.
