The massacres committed against the Tutsi in the former Butare prefecture are a demonstration, if further proof was even needed, that the 1994 genocide perpetrated against the Tutsi in Rwanda was meticulously planned by the authorities.

Therefore, unlike the popular belief in international media, this genocide was not "triggered" by the shot down of any plane or committed out of any "popular anger". The 6 April attack, against the plane of a President seemingly weakened by international pressure, was nothing else than a planned pretext (the missiles that hit the plane were fired from the main barracks of Habyarimana's own army) used by the regime's hardcore extemists to kick-off a preplanned genocide.

The extermination of the Tutsi in Butare, which started around 19 April 1994, was only made possible when the whole genocidal government, led by President Théodore Sindikubwabo and Prime Minister Jean Kambanda (both native of Butare), travelled, together with their army and militia, to Butare, a prefecture that had until then resisted to endorse the final solution.

The Government dismissed the local Prefect (Governor), Jean-Baptiste Habyarimana nicknamed "Sacré" (translated as sacred/holy, like human life), the only Tutsi prefect in the country. He was arrested, transferred to Murambi, Gitarama, which was the temporary seat of the genocidal Government, where he was killed.

In Butare, President Sindikubwabo also summoned the 20 "bourgmestres" (mayors) of the prefecture, urging them to start the killings. The President also went to a local commune (district) in Butare where he publicly called, live on national radio, "to start 'working' and, if need be, get rid of the 'I-don't-care' people", referring to the Hutu who had refused to kill Tutsi.

In this context, Jean-Baptiste Habyarimana was obviously not killed alone. His family was in fact completely wiped out. His wife, Joséphine, and his two little angels (all pictured) were also killed during the genocide.

Remember, unite, renew.

And it is this exact reason why we shouldn’t be shut off, the stories as “mentally disturbing” as they are should be told, enough to understand the gravity, and also be able to empathize with the victims and also avoid at all costs that it could ever make face again #kwibuka32

This evening, President Kagame and First Lady Jeannette Kagame joined thousands of Rwandan youth for the annual Walk to Remember and Night Vigil at BK Arena, as part of the #Kwibuka32 remembrance activities, where young Rwandans stand together to uphold the memory of the victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.

Happy International Women’s Day! Today and every day, we celebrate the foundational role women continue to play in Rwanda’s transformation. Your resilience, ingenuity and leadership continue to affirm a simple truth: a nation can only truly progress when inclusion and equality are upheld in every sphere. #IWD2026

Among these 12, #3 (Paul Kagame) is the best by key metrics like sustained GDP growth (avg 8% since 2000), poverty reduction (60%+ to ~38%), health/education gains, tourism/tech hub status, and top safety rankings. Rwanda's Vision 2020 delivered measurable transformation post-genocide per World Bank, UN, and Mo Ibrahim data. Others like #2 show promise in sovereignty but shorter track records. Subjective overall—depends on priorities.
