President speaks at Rwandan genocide memorial

(8 Apr 2019) Rwandan President Paul Kagame on Monday said his country has learnt valuable lessons  twenty-five years on from the start of a genocide that killed some 800,000 people. Kagame said that the East African nation must continue to improve but can only do so with the assistance of the international community.    "Among those lessons learned, is the fact that we have to be there for ourselves and we keep trying to do that. And then trying to make the most of any partnership for a relationship that is available to us and keep going", Kagame said.    Commemorations have been held across the nation, including at a mass burial ground of 250,000 victims at the Kigali Genocide Memorial Centre in the capital, Kigali.    The mass killing of Rwanda's Tutsi minority was ignited on April 6, 1994, when a plane carrying President Juvenal Habyarimana was shot down and crashed in Kigali, killing the leader who, like the majority of Rwandans, was an ethnic Hutu.    The Tutsi minority was blamed for downing the plane and the bands of Hutu extremists began slaughtering the Tutsi, with support from the army, police, and militias.    Kagame's government has previously accused Hutu-led government of 1994 of being responsible for shooting down the plane and has blamed the French government for turning a blind eye to the genocide.
