Remember

Kwibuka, honours the memory of more than one million Rwandans who died in the hundred days of the Genocide. 

Kwibuka is a period of deep mourning for survivors and their families. We call on everyone to be with them at this time; to listen carefully, to support them, and to understand the trauma many still suffer. 

Kwibuka asks the world to come together to support the survivors of the Genocide and to ensure that such an atrocity can never happen again – in Rwanda or elsewhere.

Memory is informed by knowledge, and so Kwibuka calls on everyone to take time to learn about the historical causes and consequences of the Genocide. Denial continues to occur, blurring the truth of the Genocide and attempting to obfuscate the role of perpetrators, their supporters, and bystanders.

Kwibuka is a time to educate the next generation, so the lessons of history are learned and the facts clearly understood. It is also an opportunity to share Rwanda’s story of reconciliation and nation-building. 

Please join us in this act of remembrance to respect the survivors and enhance historical clarity.
