IMAGES: Kigali Convention Center stands in solidarity, illuminated in grey to honor #Kwibuka32

Today, we stand together in remembrance of the victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. As we honor their memory, we stand with survivors and renew our collective promise to reject division, uphold humanity, and safeguard the future. Kwibuka – Remember, Unite, Renew. Never Again. #Kwibuka32

President Kagame commended those who continue to stand in solidarity with Rwanda during the commemoration of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, noting that every year at this time, they consistently support and comfort those affected by this history. He said, “To those present here and those following us remotely, thank you for standing with us. I also thank the survivor who spoke this testimony helps all of us, as well as future generations, to continue remembering.” #Kwibuka32

Théoneste Ngiruwonsanga, a survivor of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi from the former Cyangugu Prefecture, testified that members of his family began being killed as early as 1964, continuing up to 1994 when the genocide occurred. He said, “Before the Genocide, Tutsi families on our hill lived in fear more than anything else.” Ngiruwonsanga explained that his grandfather was killed in 1964 and thrown into Lake Kivu. Shortly before the Genocide, his siblings were also killed, and he himself faced persecution while at school. #Kwibuka32

The Minister of National Unity and Civic Engagement, Dr. Jean Damascène Bizimana, stated that the commemoration of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, which was stopped by the RPF Inkotanyi, should serve as a reminder to countries to uphold their responsibilities in preventing genocide, as established by the United Nations. He made these remarks on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, during a talk marking the beginning of the National Mourning Week and the 100 days of #Kwibuka32. Dr. Bizimana’s presentation focused on the planning and execution of the Genocide against the Tutsi in 1994.

Minister Dr. Bizimana stated that in 1990, the French Embassy in Rwanda produced a report indicating that a genocide was being planned in Rwanda. In 1991, General Jean Varret, who was in charge of military cooperation in France, visited Rwanda and met with Colonel Rwagafirita, who informed him about the genocide plan that was being prepared. At that time, he reportedly told him: “The Tutsi are a minority; we will eliminate them. The gendarmes, together with the soldiers, will resolve the ‘Tutsi problem,’ and it will not take long they are very few.” #Kwibuka32

Hon Minister Dr. Bizimana stated that former President Habyarimana was the one who initiated the training of Interahamwe militia at Gabiro, where they were armed, including with guns. In 1990, Habyarimana reportedly visited soldiers in Gabiro and assured them that those who had fallen in battle would be avenged. He said, “The genocide plan originated from President Habyarimana himself, and it began with his regime. His first political program, announced on August 1, 1973, stated that the governance of the country would be based on ethnicity and regions.” Remember. Reflect. Stand against denial. #Kwibuka32

FACTUAL CLARIFICATION ON SANITATION WORKERS IN #KIGALI Recent claims circulating on social media regarding the treatment of street cleaners in #KigaliYacu are inaccurate and misleading. Since last year, street cleaning services across major roads of the City of Kigali have been delivered through structured Youth Cooperatives. These cooperatives not only ensure the cleanliness of the city but also provide organised employment, improved livelihoods, and access to social protection for their members. The facts are clear: ▶️ All staff receive their salaries on time. Any irregularities, when identified, are addressed immediately. ▶️ Since the establishment of the cooperatives, salaries have increased by 40%, driven by improved efficiency and better management of resources. ▶️ As part of this improved system, low-cost items such as brooms are gradually acquired by the workers themselves. This approach reduces operational costs and is one of the key factors that made it possible to achieve the 40% salary increase. The cost of a broom represents less than 2% of a worker’s monthly salary. ▶️ All workers are paid through formal banking systems, enabling contributions to the Rwanda Social Security Board (RSSB) pension benefits. ▶️ In districts such as @KicukiroDistr, members participate in the INGOBOKA savings scheme, which provides structured support during social and family events; and will soon help them pay for Health Insurance for their families. ▶️ Recent Cooperative-run shop established allow members to access essential goods at affordable prices, with flexible payment arrangements. ▶️ All cooperatives operate under formal contracts with the City of Kigali that safeguard members’ rights, welfare, and working conditions. These systems reflect a deliberate and ongoing commitment to protect the dignity of street cleaners, improve livelihoods, and ensure structured and accountable service delivery. The @CityofKigali remains firmly committed to continuously strengthening these systems and addressing any identified gaps through appropriate channels. Rwanda will continue to progress through collective effort, starting with recognising and valuing essential workers whose contributions are vital to national development, including street cleaners. Thank you.
