Today marks 25yrs since the genocide against the Tutsis in #Rwanda. The international community stood by as more than 800,000 people were slaughtered in 100 days.
In 2017, I was honoured to be in Rwanda for the commemoration. #RwandaGenocide
A thread I wrote in #Kigali in 2017 during the ceremonies to mark the anniversary of the genocide against the Tutsis. There are 250,000 Tutsi victims of the 1994 genocide buried at #Kigali Genocide Memorial #Rwanda #Kwibuka25
Kwibuka means Remembrance. It was an honour to join The Walk to Remember in #Kigali two years ago to remember the #GenocideAgainstTheTutsi. I send love and solidarity to friends in #Rwanda who are remembering today, the 25th anniversary. #Kwibuka25
It is impossible to convey the magnitude of grief at a burial site for a quarter of a million people. I am grateful for @EGAm for taking us to #Rwanda and to all at the @Kigali_Memorial for what I learned. #GenocideAgainstTheTutsi #Kwibuka25
And here is a thread I wrote in 2017 from @Kigali_Memorial sharing what I learned there about the #GenocideAgainstTheTutsi. #Kwibuka25
