Rwanda marks 30 years since the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi
KIGALI, April 7 (Reuters)—Rwanda's president on Sunday led Kwibuka commemorations to mark 30 years since the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi in Rwanda that killed more than 1 million people. For over 100 days, starting on April 7 1994, Tutsis and moderate Hutus were systematically massacred by Hutu extremists, led by the Rwandan army and a militia known as the Interahamwe.
“Genocide is populism in its pure form because the causes are political the remedies must be as well. For that reason, our politics are not organized on the basis of ethnicity or religion and never will be again," Kagame said at a separate ceremony at the Kigali sports arena.
