#Kwibuka32 | Remember – Unite – Renew
Today in Seoul, the Embassy of the Republic of Rwanda commemorated the 32nd anniversary of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, bringing together government representatives, the diplomatic corps, the Rwandan community and friends of Rwanda in a moment of reflection and renewed commitment.
🕯️ We remember more than one million innocent lives lost.
🤝 We honor resilience, unity, and reconciliation.
🔁 We renew our collective responsibility to ensure Never Again.
Key messages from our distinguished speakers:
🇰🇷 H.E. Chung Kwangyong, Director-General for African and Middle Eastern Affairs, highlighted that Rwanda’s remarkable recovery resonates deeply with Korea’s own history of rebuilding, and commended Rwanda as a model of resilience and innovation.
🌍 H.E. Chafik Rachadi, Ambassador of Morocco and Dean of the Diplomatic Corps, reminded us of the power of words—both in fueling division and in fostering healing—and called for continued global vigilance against hate and dehumanization.
🇷🇼 H.E. Ambassador Bakuramutsa Nkubito, representing Rwanda, emphasized that genocide denial and distortion are not opinions, but a continuation of genocide ideology, and reaffirmed Rwanda’s commitment to truth, unity, and prevention.
🇰🇷 Hon. IM Moon Cheol, Chairman of the Jeju 4.3 Peace Foundation, underscored how Rwanda made a remarkable choice after the tragedy, by choosing a path toward unity, reconciliation, restorative justice instead of retribution, and toward coexistence instead of severance.
📢 As we mark #Kwibuka32, we call on the international community to:
✔️ Uphold the truth
✔️ Combat denial and hate speech
✔️ Ensure accountability
Because “Never Again” must mean action.
