“We were sad, were crying, were angry, we were heartbroken. But we were also educated…. We can do better through learning from the past. I believe that humans have the potential to be so loving and learn how to live together in peace.” - @johnlegend

1/ Delivering the keynote speech today in Kigali at the start of the international conference ‘Peace Education in an Era of Crisis’, Aegis founder @DrJMSmith made the following comments in recognition of today’s #SrebrenicaGenocide anniversary:
With a strength of spirit to match his strength of frame, Sir Ben Helfgott’s unique and exceptional contribution to Holocaust remembrance and education lives on. No-one could have done more. We were privileged to benefit from his wisdom, and his memory will always be a blessing.
@Aegis_Trust Rest in Peace, a true hero
It was an honour to know Damas Gisimba, pictured here @Kigali_Memorial
I will never forget his quiet courage that had the power to stand against the force of genocide. His legacy it will inspire humanity in generations the world over.
I wrote this 19 years ago after meeting refugees fleeing atrocities of Janjaweed militia in Darfur.
Rebranded Rapid Support Forces their commander, Gen Dagalo, is now the richest man in Sudan.
He’s sparked civil war and Darfuris are under attack again. https://t.co/W07TrfF4tB
