“The memorial (…) is not a validation, because none is needed. But it will stand as a mark of respect for the dignity of Rwandans and our history.” H.E Paul Kagame at the unveiling.

Some still ask why Rwanda invests in sports...
This historic weekend provided the answer: global visibility, economic opportunities, tourism growth, international partnerships, and inspiration for a new generation.

Above all, it reflects Rwanda's ambition and confidence in a brighter future, one where young people dream bigger, compete globally, and help build a nation that continues to rise.
Sports are not a cost. They are an investment in Rwanda's future.

A worthwhile read👇

[Presidency | Rwanda @UrugwiroVillage]

“This has been a day of great meaning and promise. Rwanda appreciates the steps you have taken. We have chosen to look forward, and write a new chapter together, and that choice is already bearing fruit. The ambition is there on both sides. But what matters most is the renewal of trust. Today, France is an important partner for Rwanda, in investment, technology, climate, and many other common priorities. Rwanda looks forward to working with France to deepen our collaboration, and expand the possibilities between our two countries.” President Kagame

Last night in Paris, President Kagame and First Lady Jeannette Kagame attended a dinner at Palais de l'Élysée, hosted by President @EmmanuelMacron and First Lady Brigitte Macron, following the inauguration of the memorial commemorating the victims of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi.

Paris, le 2 juin 2026 : inauguration du Mémorial du génocide perpétré contre les Tutsi par les Présidents @EmmanuelMacron et @PaulKagame

[Noel Kambanda @NoelKambanda]

On June 2, 1994, RPA troops ended this horror by rescuing more than 10,000 Tutsi who had been stranded at Kabgayi.

During a burial ceremony for genocide victims in Ngoma, Huye District, Afande Ibingira explained that RPA forces could have reached Butare earlier. After the fall of Nyanza on May 30, 1994, their next destination was supposed to be Butare. However, they received orders from RPA Commander Maj. Gen. Paul Kagame to immediately change direction and rescue the Tutsi at Kabgayi, who were facing imminent mass extermination. After only three days of fighting, RPA troops arrived in Kabgayi.

This French television report was filmed towards the end of May 1994. It is possible that these journalists helped alert the world to the situation unfolding there.

To speak with journalists, Augustin had to remain seated while other Tutsi refugees formed a circle around him to shield him from nearby soldiers. He urged the journalists to alert the international community to their plight.

Sister Bernadette, herself a Tutsi, said that she had moved beyond fear because the refugees desperately needed assistance.

The refugees were hosted at several locations in Kabgayi, including Primary School A, Primary School B, St. Joseph Secondary School, Petit Séminaire St. Léon, and ESSI Kabgayi.

This footage was filmed inside a place known as the "CND" (Brothers' Covenant), where Tutsi men organized resistance against repeated Interahamwe assaults. The area was heavily attacked night after night.

The CND served as a refuge for men and boys, while women and children were accommodated in other shelters throughout Kabgayi.

Kabgayi served as the military hospital headquarters of the FAR, while President Habyarimana's Presidential Guard was based at Murambi.

Between April and June 2, 1994, killings were carried out selectively. Mayors regularly arrived and took Tutsi from their respective communes. Thousands were selected on a daily basis and transported from Ngororero to the Nyabarongo River in ONATRACOM buses, where they were killed.

I hope that Augustin and Sister Bernadette survived and are still alive today.
