Rwandans will today mark the 18th anniversary of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, with a renewed sense of purpose to build a brighter future.

Experts at the International Conference of Genocide, which concluded in Kigali yesterday, believe that despite their strong education background, they are not in the best position to tell the story of the 1994 Genocide better than the survivors.

International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda Judges in the case of former Minister of Planning, Augustin Ngirabatware, will soon travel to Rwanda for a five-day tour of alleged crime sites, The New Times has learnt.

Mukama, the Secretary General of Tanzania’s ruling party, Chama cha mapenduzi, said yesterday.

Rwandans globally are, today, joining hands to remember their loved ones killed in the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi as the country commemorates the 18th anniversary.
