Today, the Chief of Civil-Military Cooperation in the Rwanda Defence Force (RDF), Colonel Désiré Migambi Mungamba, joined residents of Muhima Sector in Nyarugenge District for the 32nd commemoration of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. The event took place at St. Famille Parish and brought together local leaders, security personnel, survivors, and members of the wider community.
In his remarks, Colonel Désiré Migambi emphasized remembrance as a collective responsibility and highlighted Rwandan core values, including unity, peace, prosperity, and sovereignty, which existed long before the colonial era.
