For me, Kwibuka is really about love.
Love for those who are missing from us, and those who survived.
Love for our country, small yet boundless in all that it holds.
Love as witness, as presence, and as wholeness -everything that the genocide meant to take from us.
For survivors, who know genocide intimately, as something that settles in the body, surfaces without warning, and can bring assailing darkness into an ordinary day. The ache of everything missing. And the tender cruelty of living perpetually in “what if.”
We know there is not much we can do to ease certain wounds.
But know this:
Whatever healing you have found. Whatever love, restoration, joy, and peace have helped you find ground beneath your feet. The dreams and hopes you have for your children, and for this country. A future for all of us, together. We will protect all of it fiercely.
That much, we can do.

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.

“If you knew me, and you really knew yourself, you would not have killed me” – Quote on a stone wall at the Genocide Memorial in Kigali. It is located in the Children’s Room, a space dedicated to the youngest victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi and one of the most haunting parts of the memorial. The Genocide is officially recognised as beginning on April 7, 1994. From tomorrow Rwanda will begin the 32nd commemoration (Kwibuka) of the Genocide.

The one thing I don't like about this discussion is we're trying to force an inauthentic story out of Coogler. There are queer writers pounding the pavement right now that have a gofund me up for their queer movie that would be miles better than anything Coogler can cook up
Kar@karlogan_
Ryan Coogler’s bodies of work all seem to be stories that are personal to him and his upbringing. So noting the absence of queerness in his movies just doesn’t seem fair (to me.) Can we give him a chance to get to that story first (if he even feels drawn to do that)?
