Genocide against the Tutsi witnessed 1 million Tutsis & non-extremist Hutus die in 100 days. For decades, Hutu hate ideology festered while a genocide was planned. The RPA ended the Genocide. This daily thread is how they saved lives & ended it in Kigali. jonathanrbeloff.com/the-campaign-a…

#Rwanda is going to publicly honor some Tanzanian citizens who carried out acts of bravery and heroism in Rwanda during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. The Head of State announced this in #Tanzania this Sunday, as Rwanda is in the 100 days of #Kwibuka32.

Visit Rwanda. Invest In Rwanda.

Today in Ireland 🇮🇪, HC @BusingyeJohns joined Rwandans and friends of Rwanda to commemorate #Kwibuka32, honoring the victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. They were also joined by Councillor Tedd Leddy.

The Palestinian FA president is a convicted terrorist who served 17 years in prison for throwing grenades at an Israeli bus. The Israeli Arab STILL offered him a handshake and peace which was rejected. This is the entire Middle East conflict.

The Israeli official is also Arab. Perfect display of why there isn’t peace.

@FilsDeBoncoeur @patriotjuniorr @Inkotanyi_Imena @albcontact @evaristemur @BahoNtaganira @RwandaMoD @AgainstGdeniers Gen (Rtd) Muhire is not only a great teacher for me but a friend and mentor. Honestly, I can't say enough about this man who has lived through so much (as a doctor, soldier, commander, businessman and more) but continues to smile.

@JewswithRwanda @patriotjuniorr @Inkotanyi_Imena @albcontact @evaristemur @BahoNtaganira @RwandaMoD @AgainstGdeniers Yeah He is him if I'm looking well

RPA OPERATIONAL UPDATE — KIGALI & EASTERN/SOUTH FRONT (MAY 2, 1994): On May 2, RPA forces tightened their approach toward Kigali from multiple directions while FAR attempted rapid reinforcement amid the ongoing Genocide against the Tutsi. 1. FAR Reinforcement — Emergency Recruitment: • FAR initiated a new recruitment drive, with recruits receiving as little as four days of training this reflects increasing pressure on FAR manpower and battlefield sustainability. 2. Eastern/Southern Axis — Continued Advance: • 157th and 101st CMF made further gains in the east/south, advancing closer toward Gatovu–Bugesera this sustained movement increased pressure on FAR positions outside Kigali. 3. Operational Maneuver — Gitarama Axis: • 101 CMF C/O, Col. Charles Muhire (Retired Lieutenant General) was directed to maneuver around Kigali toward Gitarama. This indicated a broader operational design beyond direct frontal assault, aiming to stretch and outflank FAR defenses. 4. Eastern Gate — Kanombe Pressure: • 7th Mobile Force under Col. William BAGIRE reached the doorstep of Kigali (Kanombe axis)and positioned for direct pressure on airport and surrounding military installations. 5. Kigali Axis — Active Combat Zones: • Heavy fighting continued in Remera (Kisimenti)and Kanombe, particularly near the airport. Operational Insight: • May 2 reflects: FAR attempts to rapidly replenish forces under pressure, RPA’s continued multi-directional advance toward Kigali and increasing operational depth through maneuver (Gitarama axis). Core Perspective: • RPA forces advanced on all fronts—tightening the approach to Kigali while outmaneuvering and pressuring a rapidly reinforced but strained opponent.

@patriotjuniorr @Inkotanyi_Imena @FilsDeBoncoeur @albcontact @evaristemur @BahoNtaganira @RwandaMoD @AgainstGdeniers Thank you for the picture! I love his moustache!

@JewswithRwanda @Inkotanyi_Imena @FilsDeBoncoeur @albcontact @evaristemur @BahoNtaganira @RwandaMoD @AgainstGdeniers Yes, That's him alongside Tom Ndahiro, Late Brig. Gen. Andrew RWIGAMBA, Late Hon. Patrick MAZIMPAKA and Pasteur BIZIMUNGU in Arusha, 1993.

I have known James Uwizeye for a few years now. He is a man of character, laughs and always ready for a good discussion. He will excel in this new opportunity. Congrats @JWizeye!

📰 On this day in the liberation struggle and Campaign Against Genocide ⚔️ 🗓️ On May 2, 1994. 📌 Today's battle was made up of Four major events: 1. #RPA’s 157 and 101 CMF gain in the east/south (inching closer to Gatovu/Bugesera) 2. FAR attempts a new recruitment drive with only four days of training. 3. Col. Charles Muhire now Lt. Gen (Rtd) (101 CMF commander) was commanded to go around Kigali towards Gitarama. 4. Killings carried out in St Famille were incited by Father Wenceslas Munyeshaka and Carried out by the Military army and Interahamwe. 📌 From 2nd May 1994, and following 3 days were somewhat repetitive in the day’s actions. The primary frontlines experienced heavy fighting, with the FAR launching shells and mortars at the RPA position, especially the CND. (You will see the picture below of the damaged CND due to those shells). ✊🏻From its position in Kacyiru, the #RPA attempted to respond to the shelling but often missed the key FAR buildings in the city centre. Akin to the trench warfare of World War One, the frontlines barely changed. If they did, the FAR would counterstrike to reclaim the lost territory. ✍🏻 It is important to stress how territory exchanges were often just a few blocks to even as little as a few buildings. However, fighting increased in #Kisimenti and by the Airport ✈️, which needed to be closed on the evening of 4th May. 💔🕍 A few kilometers from Hotel Des Milles Collines where Rusesabagina were charging Tutsis money to take refuge in that Hotel which was under French intervention ,at St Famille, Father Wenceslas Munyeshaka who is still in France incited the killings of Tutsi who were seeking refugees. The Army & Interahamwe carried the massacres. Src: @JewswithRwanda #Kwibuka32 #CampaignAgainstGenocide

@rosette_uwase @davidrigiri @Gihanga100 @Masisi_CD @rmakrich @SBatukwa @MamyKazadi I told you earlier, don't feed this troll...

@davidrigiri @JewswithRwanda @Gihanga100 @Masisi_CD @rmakrich @SBatukwa @MamyKazadi How is this related to the genocide?

Kigali is still the cleanest city in Africa, and it’s not even close. Hosting the FIA, the BAL, and reaching $700M in tourism revenue? This is what happens when you have order and vision. Action over rhetoric, every single time!
