As commemoration week ends, but Kwibuka continues. As a young person, did you truly learn something or all you did was monitor who did and didn’t post?
As a tip, one thing that helps me to stay grounded and focused. Each year, I focus on a specific topic and study it deeply. This year, I explored the humanitarian crisis during and after the genocide and how it was addressed; last year, I examined the genocide from the perpetrators’ perspective. Thats just few of many topics.
Let’s not make commemoration just a routine or performative, let it be a time to learn.
I grew up in a home of 27 people… iyo watindaga kuza ku meza, namwe murabyumva. It wasn’t always easy, but it was love and survival. I pay tribute to all the survivors who took children into your homes not out of heroism, but because it was necessary.

I think Gacaca succeeded largely because it was centered around the victims. On the other hand, the ICTR was really an effort by the West to absolve themselves of any responsibility, without any thought for the victims whatsoever.
Your support in sharing this statement is crucial. Please read, understand, and help us protect what we built. We shall be back very soon !
We hope: @ribrwanda @rdbrwanda@psfrwanda Brings justice .

The day we realize that this is by design, not accidental, is the day we will realize that the Africa we have is the Africa we want. The other one is the fancy feel-good idea that we keep talking about to make ourselves feel and look better.
