Kagame lights candle of Hope for Rwanda

Thousands turn up on Memorial night Vigil GASABO - Over 25,000 people turned up for the commemoration night vigil at Amahoro National Stadium Tuesday to participate in lighting “Candles of Hope” for Rwanda, 15 years after the Genocide. President Paul Kagame and First Lady Jeannette Kagame were among those who turned up at the stadium and lit the first of the 10,000 candles lit on the highly emotional night, in honour of those that survived the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.
