12 HOURS ( 8:00 PM- 8:00 AM ) NIGHT WALK CHALLENGE: 🫂🕯️.
———————————————
🕯️This year, I challenged myself to do something different.
I committed myself to a 12-hour night walk from 8:00 PM to 8:00 AM as a personal tribute to innocent Tutsi lives lost in the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.
🕯️While it’s often said that content creators disappear during critical moments like the Commemoration Week, this time; we showed up.
✊🏿This walk, for me, was a symbol of honor but again it was more than that. It was also a walk of gratitude to the RPA/Inkotanyi, who stopped the genocide and restored peace in our country. I chose to walk through the night to show how safe this country has become thanks to their sacrifice and vision.
🚏My route was:
Nyarutarama – Gisozi – Downtown – Nyamirambo – Kimisagara – Nyabugogo – Norvège/Nyarugenge – Rebero – Remera.
🕯️The most challenging part? Nyabugogo to Rebero. It was hilly, fearsome,rainy, and cold. I had to pause a bit but even that discomfort made me reflect. It reminded me of the harsh conditions survivors endured, especially during nights like those, with no shelter, no warmth just fear and uncertainty.
🚏Along the way, I meditated deeply on the value of peace, unity, and harmony our president Paul Kagame tells us every time .
I greeted security personnel who watched over the city they were kind and welcoming. It affirmed just how far we’ve come as a nation.
✊🏿🇷🇼Most importantly, I was reminded that only Rwandans can rebuild Rwanda. No outsider did this for us. Rwandans chose reconciliation. Rwandans chose to rise.This walk taught me more than I expected.
🗓️Same challenge, same walk next year.#Kwibuka31 #InHonorOfTheTutsi
