Let us remember Genocide while we guard against its ideology. Let us look after survivors and the same time strive for development."
Lest we forget.... Rwanda Genocide rememberence day
On April 6, 1994, and for the next hundred days, up to 800,000 Tutsis were killed by Hutu militia using clubs and machetes, with as many as 10,000 killed each day.
During the genocide thousands of children were brutally tortured and killed. Anyone who has lost a child, the pain, anger and sorrow does not become any less sharp. When you lose a child, especially if it is brutally tortured and killed, it is as if a part of you dies too.
Most of the surviving parents in Rwanda lost more than one child; some parents saw their children being tortured and killed. They had to keep their grief to themselves and it overwhelmed their lives
