Rwandans should use easter to rekindle hope

Today we celebrate Easter Sunday, the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. For Rwandans, it falls at a time when events to commemorate the 15th Genocide against the Tutsi are ongoing. This should send a message that it is possible to triumph against all kinds of trials and tribulations. The resurrection of Jesus and his sacrifice for the rest of humanity is instructive. In a way it sends a message to those who lost their loved ones that their death was and should not be in vain. The Christian values of forgiveness and reconciliation should inform the relations between those who suffered and their tormentors. It ought to be a time for people to reflect on their values.
