Le 17 février 2020 restera, dans les annales des assassinats et exécutions sommaires au Rwanda, une des dates les plus sombres. C’est le jour où le grand chanteur de gospel et messager de la paix et de la réconciliation, Kizito Mihigo, a été assassiné alors qu’il était en détention dans un cachot de la police rwandaise à Kigali.
Quatre ans après ce crime sordide, ses frères et sœurs rescapés du génocide contre les Tutsi de l’Association IGICUMBI – Voix desRescapés du génocide contre les Tutsi ont commémoré sa vie ainsi que celles de bien d’autres rescapé(e)s de la même tragédie qui ont perdu leurs vies par la main du pouvoir du FPR. La cérémonie s’est déroulée en langue rwandaise (et elle accessible) sur la chaîne YouTube Igicumbi94.

They remember him and hundreds of other survivors who lived through the 1994 genocide by Hutu extremists, only to later perish under suspicious circumstances. Their deaths raise concerns about ongoing human rights violations in Rwanda, despite the current regime presenting itself as the savior that stopped the genocide. There is a tragic irony in survivors falling victim to unexplained violence under this government. More transparency and accountability are needed regarding these deaths, which seem to further the objectives of the original perpetrators who sought to eliminate Tutsis.
I have been wanting to read Clementine Wamariya’s memoir “The Girl Who Smiled Beads” since it was published in 2018. After finally finishing it, I want to share my thoughts about this profound memoir. The 276-page book proves both inspiring and controversial.
You may not know it, but Rwanda’s iconic Kigali Convention Center and gleaming BK Arena stadium carry a disturbing secret – they were constructed upon a bargain of Armenian genocide denial for money. Last week, the French newspaper, Le Point, revealed that Rwanda secretly agreed to eliminate all […]
