DEPUTY DEFENCE SPOKESPERSON JOINS NU-VISION HIGH SCHOOL IN COMMEMORATION OF THE 1994 GENOCIDE AGAINST THE TUTSI
The Deputy Defence Spokesperson, Lt Col Simon Kabera, today joined more than 1200 students and teachers of Nu-Vision High School in honouring the victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.
Addressing students, Lt Col Kabera explained the stages through which the genocide was planned and executed, and highlighted the role of the Rwanda Patriotic Army (RPA) in stopping the genocide against the Tutsi when the international community failed to intervene.
He urged the youth to preserve Rwanda’s history and actively challenge genocide denial, especially on social media platforms. He encouraged students to safeguard the country’s achievements and contribute to building a better future based on truth, unity, and responsibility.
He further called on young people to become advocates for justice and truth by sharing positive and accurate information about Rwanda’s history. He noted that the youth have a unique role in combating genocide ideology through education, creativity, and advocacy, stressing that preserving the memory of the Genocide against the Tutsi is a responsibility for all Rwandans.
