We Remember

"Rwanda is like a forest. Burn it down and from its ashes rise a far better nation. From the bloodshed rise a brighter generation. Flames burn deep inside our hearts. We are not angry nor do we seek vengeance. We seek a God fearing and united future." - MUGISHA Jessy

“Upholding the truth, preserving our dignity, remembering our beloved ones lost during 1994 genocide, never again should this happen to humanity” 

– Frank Habineza

“We remember to keep the memories of our beloved ones close to our souls.” 

– Mbabazi Joed  

"Iyo umenya nawe ukimenya, ntuba waranyishe" - "If you'd known me and known yourself, you wouldn't have killed me." 



Today and everyday, we remember and we strive to know our brothers, our sisters and ourselves better. We take responsibility to see that the memory of those who perished in 1994 is not tarnished. Rwanda I pray for your healing! 

– Jean Michel Habineza

When the sun rose on this day in 1994, dogs could walk free but people hid in dark, cramped spaces, afraid of what their neighbors would do if they found them. 17 years later, we say "Never again, Rwanda". But really we should say "Never again, World" because so much changes yet a lot stays the same. 

– Pauline Mutumwinka  

When remembering the loved ones who died in the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi please remember them by name because one of the wrongs of genocide is that it seeks to make them just numbers!! – Jean Michel Habineza
