Remember’ is a translation of Kwibuka in Kinyarwanda, Rwanda’s national language. It describes the annual commemoration of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.

By remembering, we honour the memory of more than one million Rwandans who died in the hundred days of the Genocide. It was one of human history’s darkest times. Twenty-eight years later we, Rwanda, ask the world to unite to remember the lives that were lost.

Kwibuka is also a time to learn about Rwanda’s story of reconciliation and nation building. The national commemoration of the genocide begins on 7 April every year.

Twenty-nine  years after the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, Rwanda has had a long but a successful journey of reconciliation and nation building. Rwanda’s spirit has been restored by the resilience of its people and the strength of survivors.

The people of Rwanda are working together for the brighter future they deserve. They have a vision of hope, dignity and prosperity for their country. Rwanda shows that reconciliation through shared human values is possible.

Twenty-nine  years ago, Rwanda reached a point in time where forward was the only way to go. After the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi it took tremendous efforts for the country to raise from the ashes it had been reduced to. It also took vision and an unshaken will to survive, live and strive as a nation. Above all, it took resilience.

In the face of tragedy, trauma and adversity, Rwanda’s road to resilience has been an eventful one. Health, Education, Agriculture, Trade, Economy… Rwanda has had to leak its wounds, resume to existence and rebuilt from all corners, for life never stopped for the rest of the world.
