Today, Rwanda will mark 30 years since the Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. As the world watched, over the course of 100 days beginning 7 April 1994, more than 1 million people were killed at the hands of neighbours, co-workers, friends and family. At the age of 18, I lost 80 members of my own family in the Genocide against Tutsi.
We at the Aegis Trust will be marking this moment together with the nation of Rwanda in ceremonies at the Kigali Genocide Memorial.
I hope you will pause, on 7 April, wherever you are in the world, for a moment of silent reflection.
Rwanda is a very different country now than in 1994. We now have much to share with the world about renewal, resilience, and living in peace and stability.
From Freddy Mutanguha, Chief Executive, Aegis Trust
