With the President in Power for 24years with no sign of stepping down are they not inviting another typre of "Genocide"
right now rwandan and hitler kagame is commiting genocide in drc you peolple of the world what you judge
Correction:There are not 800,000 people but they are above 1,000,000 people.
This report is much biased!
Our history is our future!
correction it's 1994 genocide against tutsi and it was not a civil war , it was genocide as you said.
These reports are so biased and continues to push division between the 2 tribes in Rwanda. It is not only the Tutsi who lost their lives during this period. Thousands of Hutu were massacred! Please be fair and report the right information to the people.
Rwandese 🇷🇼❤️ be strong ❤😢
One day the truth will come out wat really happened in 1994 genocide. Am a Uganda nationality who stays in s.aftica am 43years now and in 1994 I was 13years . But there is no truth in dis world & wen I see all dis useless leader go to Rwanda to remember 1994 genocide, I just rough & I wonder how the world is cruelly but u can't hide truth all the time. One day wen the world is no longer controlled buy a small group society the world will know the Truth. Kagame & museveni one day they will face the real Justice ov killing ov all most 1.5 million Hutus then they fool the world dat de Hutu killed Tusi. But all dis senseless liar & propaganda was supported by Jews, UK and USA up to now.
We are brothers and sisters. Africa is our home
Title: Rwanda's Memorial Day: A Defiant Call to Condemn Genocide Everywhere, Including Ethiopia's Plight
On Rwanda's Memorial Day, a sacred occasion marked by remembrance and reflection, the world must not only honor the victims of past atrocities but also confront the ongoing horrors of genocide wherever they occur. As Rwanda mourns its own tragic past, it stands as a beacon of resilience and defiance against ethnic violence and hatred. However, the solemnity of this day is marred by the troubling reality of leaders accused of perpetrating genocide being welcomed with open arms, particularly in Ethiopia under the leadership of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.
The Amhara people, whose lives are being mercilessly extinguished in regions like Oromia, Addis Ababa, and the Amhara region itself, cry out for justice and recognition. They endure systematic violence, forced displacement, and ethnic cleansing at the hands of government forces and allied militias. The international community cannot remain silent while their suffering continues unabated.
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's administration has unleashed a reign of terror against the Amhara people, using state-sponsored violence to suppress dissent and eradicate entire communities. The atrocities committed against innocent civilians demand swift and decisive action from the global community, including Rwanda, whose own history serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of unchecked hatred and intolerance.
Rwanda, a nation that has risen from the ashes of genocide, must not falter in its duty to speak out against all forms of genocide and human rights abuses. By extending hospitality to leaders implicated in such crimes, Rwanda risks betraying the principles of justice and reconciliation it holds dear. Instead, Rwanda must use its moral authority to advocate for peace, justice, and accountability for all victims of genocide, regardless of their nationality or ethnicity.
The Amhara people, who have endured centuries of marginalization and persecution, deserve to be heard and supported in their quest for dignity and justice. Their voices must not be silenced, nor their suffering ignored, as the world gathers to commemorate Rwanda's Memorial Day. It is a day to honor the memory of all genocide victims, past and present, and to reaffirm our collective commitment to preventing such atrocities from ever happening again.
Let us stand in solidarity with the Amhara people and all victims of genocide, not just in words, but in action. Let us hold accountable those who perpetrate such heinous crimes and ensure that justice is served. Rwanda's Memorial Day should serve as a rallying cry for all nations to unite against genocide and uphold the sanctity of human life. The people of Rwanda, who have emerged from the depths of despair to build a brighter future, understand the importance of speaking out and fighting for a better tomorrow. It is time for Rwanda to lead by example and champion the cause of justice and reconciliation for all.
You cant make friends with Putin😂

Free air plane travel , food and drinks at the expense of tax payers.
This should remain a lesson to Africans to never take arms against each other,
But South Africa is involved in killings of Tutsis in Eastern DRC by supporting DRC army that are fighting M23 together with FDLR. You know that very well.
