April 11, 1994 – The day the world turned its back on Rwanda. Today, we remember the innocent victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Nyanza of Kicukiro, who were killed after being abandoned by Belgian soldiers serving under the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR). ⏱️ 3:00 PM 📍 Nyanza-Kicukiro Genocide Memorial #Kwibuka32 #TwibukeTwiyubaka

Over 12,000 people gathered with us for a shared commitment to remember, learn, and carry the responsibility of rebuilding our nation. #Kwibuka32 #OurPast26

Under a shared sky, thousands of lights rise in quiet remembrance of #OurPast. Each flame carries a name, a story, a promise to never forget. #Kwibuka32

"Respect my life as I respect yours." Hon. Pie Mugabo during a 1995 commemorative address, emphasizing the fundamental human right to life and the rejection of a "culture of killing." #Kwibuka32

Darkness has no power against the light. Mpore Rwanda.

“Kwibuka carries profound meaning for our nation. It is how we confront and overcome the divisions that nearly destroyed us. This day empowers us all. We draw on the strength of survivors, who provide the reservoir of humanity that feeds our nation’s soul. To all survivors, know that you are not alone. We stand with you always. Everything we have achieved, was only possible, because all Rwandans decided to join hands in common purpose. We honour the role played by every Rwandan, in our country’s rebirth.” President Kagame | #Kwibuka32

Today marks the 32nd Commemoration of the Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. We honor the lives lost, stand in solidarity with survivors, and carry forward a shared responsibility to uphold unity, protect dignity, and ensure that this history is never repeated. #Kwibuka32

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. #Kwibuka32
