In a hundred days of Rwanda’s darkest history, over one million Rwandans perished in the genocide against the Tutsi. 2014 marks the twentieth commemoration of those events, and is an important occasion to remember the lives lost, show solidarity with survivors and unite to ensure it never happens again in Rwanda or elsewhere. As Rwanda looks forward to the future, it has a vision of hope, dignity and prosperity for her citizens. During this commemoration period, Rwanda is honoured to share her experiences and learn from others.
