Remembering the Rwandan Genocide
Remembering the Rwandan Genocide involves acknowledging a tragic period in 1994 when approximately 800,000 Tutsi and moderate Hutu were systematically murdered over about 100 days. This atrocity was driven by intense ethnic tensions, political propaganda, and longstanding divisions, resulting in widespread violence and profound suffering. Commemoration serves to honor victims, promote awareness of the dangers of hatred and division, and support efforts toward reconciliation and justice. It is a reminder of the importance of preventing such atrocities in the future and fostering understanding, tolerance, and peace in societies worldwide.
