"À mes proches perdus dans le génocide contre les Tutsi, j’avais 2 ans, je ne vous ai pas connus. Survivant, je garde les souvenirs de vos histoires qu’on me raconte. 31 ans après, je vous honore en vivant—ma force invisible, jamais oubliée."💔🌹

🇷🇼Rwanda goes nuclear with 🇷🇺Russia!
⚛️Russia & Rwanda have signed a roadmap to develop a small modular nuclear reactor project.
Compact yet powerful, such reactors offer cleaner, scalable energy while occupying a fraction of the footprint of conventional NPP.
Your song is truly powerful! Thanks for using your voice to honor the memories of those lost in the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi 🕯️
Your music brings healing and unity, we're grateful for your talent and dedication. Keep inspiring us 🎶

32 years ago today, something was taken from within us that cannot be described anatomically. I do not know a language that can fully capture that fear, pain, loss, and horror.
By July 1994, Rwanda was shattered in spirit, and in the most practical sense. So when people tell us what we should tolerate, or ignore, I want them to understand that baseline, and what starting from scratch truly took.
I also want them to consider what it says about this country and its people, that we are here today, with what we have built together.
Our rebuilding is, at its heart, an act of remembrance. It is about being alive again and so present, so capable, so impossible to ignore that denial itself becomes the small thing.
To those who survived: You’re here, what a gift. You were Rwanda when Rwanda almost wasn’t. Thank you for holding on, and for telling us what you could find the words for.
To those who were taken from us so brutally: you are not lost to us. You are in everything that is beautiful. You are in the children. You are in the soft evening breeze, and the first light of dawn.
You are in the hills, where your laughter was last heard. And we remember you. Always.

As Rwanda remembers the more than a million victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, we sincerely appreciate the messages of solidarity received from governments, partners and friends across the world.
International solidarity, with the clarity expressed today, together with a genuine resolve to action, remain the bedrock of “Never Again”.

The faces we carry in our hearts.
They were not numbers.
They were mothers, fathers, children, friends.
They had names, dreams, laughter, and love.
This video (just 11 minutes long) can never be enough.
It is only a fragment of lives stolen during the Genocide against the Tutsi.
If each victim were given only one second,
it would take more than 283 hours to see them all.
Today, we remember.
We mourn.
We honor.
And above all,
we refuse to let them be forgotten.
