Kwibuka 29: WVI Rwanda commemorates the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi

Yesterday, World Vision International Rwanda staff visited Ntarama Genocide
Memorial to pay tribute to the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi and learn more
about the history. WVI, Rwanda employees laid wreaths on the mass grave, a final
resting place for over 6,000 victims of the Genocide who were killed in Bugesera
District. After the memorial visit, they convened at the World Vision head
office in Kigali for dialogues in honor of those who innocently lost their lives
during the turmoil. The commemoration aimed at staff remembering and honoring
the victims and survivors of the Genocide, learning more about the history of
the Genocide against the Tutsi, how to continue on the road to rebuilding the
country, and ensuring the Genocide never happens again, through fighting its
denial. According to Haidy Wijaya Sung, WVI Rwanda’s Finance Director who spoke
on behalf of the National Director, “As an organization, we stand in solidarity
with the survivors, and on behalf of WVI Rwanda, I appreciate the men and women
who sacrificed their lives to stop the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.” He
urged the participants to be each other’s keepers and continue to work in unity
so that what happened in the past will never happen again. Djamali Habimana, a
Representative from the Ministry of National Unity and Civic Engagement took
staff through the history of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, and how it was
planned and executed. “It is everybody’s responsibility to ensure that what
happened in the past should never happen again,” he added. The audience also
listened to testimony from one of WVI Rwanda’s former sponsored Children and
Genocide Survivors, Jean de la Paix Misigaro. He took the audience through his
painful journey as a survivor. Born on 7th April 1994, just two hours after his
father had been brutally killed by the Interahamwe Militia, his mother narrated
to him his journey to survival since he was just hours old when it all started.
“I am so thankful to God for this opportunity to stand before you and thank WV
for being a parent. Through your support, I was able to start school at 10 years
of age. With WV, I never lacked, I was given livestock which transformed our
livelihoods as a family,” narrates Misigaro. He added that the livestock was a
source of school fees for his sister. They reproduced, and were sold and their
lives improved because of that immense support. “Through, WVI Rwanda, I got the
love, my father would have shown me. This gave me hope for the future as a young
boy,” mentioned Misigaro. Misigaro attributes all this to the Government of
Rwanda, which has created a conducive environment for various partners to work.
He further applauded the Government for restoring the dignity of survivors and
giving them, the hope and support needed. He concluded by urging the youth to
stand in one accord and fight against Genocide ideology, using our history as a
bridge to the future. “I thank WVI Rwanda for planning such an activity to
commemorate the victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. Let’s continue
the great partnership at all governance levels as we build our country,” says
Emmanuel Karamba, President of Ibuka, Remera Sector, and representative of
Gasabo District. ABOUT WORLD VISION World Vision is a Christian humanitarian

Rwanda's oldest mountain Gorilla dies

Mukecuru, one of Rwanda’s oldest mountain gorillas that conservationists have
ever observed, is presumed to have died, the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund has said.
At the time of her death, "she may have been as old as 43, which would be the
oldest mountain gorilla ever recorded," according to information from the fund.
ALSO READ: Rwanda extends gorilla trekking promotional prices An article
published by Veronica Vecellio, the fund's program senior advisor, indicated
that the gorilla "showed signs of illness in April and then was missing from her
group, along with silverback Agahebuzo, who we believe stayed behind to wait for
her." "When Agahebuzo returned to the group at the end of the month, we had to
conclude that Mukecuru had died," the article read further. ALSO READ: Gorilla
tourism: Companies warned against irresponsible marketing The Dian Fossey
Gorilla Fund described Mukecuru as a remarkable female gorilla, "and we feel
fortunate to have observed her life, gaining a unique glimpse into gorilla
family bonds and empathy among family members." Mukecuru was first seen by the
fund's trackers when she was already an adult, in 1995. They estimated her to be
about 15 years old at the time, though it is possible she was as young as 10.
ALSO READ: Rwanda’s mountain gorillas hit Instagram "Mukecuru spent more than
two decades in Pablo’s group and gave birth to three females there. The first
one, Mitimbili, born in 1996, maintained a very deep connection with her mother,
while her second and third daughters – Umwe and Isura – were more independent
and joined other groups after reaching maturity," the fund's message read.
Mitimbili, on the other hand, stayed in Pablo’s group and had three sons there.
Together with Mukecuru, they formed a very united family. "Mukecuru was always
nearby while Mitimbili was raising her infants and continued to stay bonded with
them even when they became independent and mature silverbacks," the fund's
article narrated. ALSO READ: Treating mountain gorillas: The story of Dr. Julius

and the conservationists observed her "appearing to grieve as she carried her
