"Each day felt like it could be our last, and it came with terrible memories that left unbearable wounds. For three months, we endured unimaginable horrors that will stay with us forever. Despite everything that we went through, we never lost hope #Kwibuka31

Thank you Best Friend, God DID! ✨💛

Every road, every tree, every schoolyard and bus stop once witnessed either killing, escape, hiding, or survival. A rock someone hid behind. A house that sheltered a neighbour. A roadblock that decided who lived & who died. Our memorials hold part of that story #kwibuka32 #memory

Research showed that the largest numbers of wiped-out families were identified in Karongi and Nyamagabe districts. These districts were part of wh ok at was then referred to as 'Zone Turquoise' during the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. Karongi and Nyamagabe districts alone comprised 4,374 wiped-out families, totalling 19,611 people. #NtukazimeNdiho | #Kwibuka32

“I too must speak, write, and remember if only one last time. With the hope of another day. The hope of liberation, and that the lives of all my loved ones may be forever inscribed, so that they survive oblivion, the force of inertia, and the pact of indifference. One last time, relive the hell of the Tutsis. One last time, remember. I remember. IBUKA!” Annick Kayitesi Josan (𝑁𝑜𝑢𝑠 𝑒𝑥𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒) #Literature #Storytelling #WritingCommunity #DigitalMemory

Today in History May 13 1994 #kwibuka32 #Bisesero

Through narration, silence, and song “𝐻𝑢𝑚𝑢𝑟𝑎 𝑅𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑎” composed by Annonciata Kamaliza, young people from MKA Baho brought the writings of Judence Kayitesi and Celine Uwineza to life during last night’s Kwibuka vigil in Edmonton, Canada, turning sound and performance into a powerful act of remembrance. #Literature #EmotionalExpression #ArtisticExpression #DigitalMemory

@DadydeMaximo @LarryMadowo I totally agree with you 🙌🏽

As African people, we should not systematically attribute every issue to slavery and colonization. Where I live, and even where I grew up, regardless of whether someone is white or black, if we are invited to an event and someone is speaking, anyone who chooses to make noise will be asked to remain silent or leave the room. Personally, I have no tolerance for disruptions while presenting; if you do not wish to listen, you should simply exit. It is exceptionally frustrating to deliver a carefully prepared presentation while others disrupt the assembly. This reaction was entirely appropriate. Had this occurred in our parents' homes in Africa, disciplinary measures would have been taken against anyone daring to interrupt an elder or a guest;let alone a forum where heads of state are present. Being annoyed and irritated by background noise is justifiable, especially with the constant distraction of individuals entering and exiting, the loud clicking of high heels every single second 😂 or side conversations. We must acknowledge that this behavior occurs among certain Africans. However, we should not all be generalized by these actions; whether you are European or African, if you disrupt the proceedings, you should leave. 👍 💪 👋 😢 Accepting criticism is a sign of wisdom. Our shortcomings should not always be blamed on past domination or slavery. It is simply a matter of authenticity and personal integrity. The real question is: why must we reach a point where a guest has to reprimand us in this manner? It is because, in our society, the undisciplined behavior of a few reflects poorly on the entire group, unfairly penalizing those who remained quiet. Why do we tolerate being sabotaged by people sitting in the back during conferences? Why do we engage in such behaviors that would never be tolerated in our own African households? This intervention was entirely necessary. “ RESPECT FOR SPEAKERS AND GUESTS IS A FUNDAMENTAL VALUE DEEPLY ROOTED IN TRADITIONAL HOUSEHOLDS, AND IT SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE MAINTAINED IN HIGH-LEVEL FORUMS WHERE LEADERSHIP IS PRESENT. MAINTAINING FOCUS AND DECORUM REFLECTS OUR COLLECTIVE PROFESSIONALISM.”

Would an African president shut up a noisy audience in France the way Macron did in Nairobi? Some Africans are outraged about the French president's paternalistic tone. But some praise him for showing leadership. Was it rude, or was it the right thing to do?
