The Honours

KIGALI - In a rare ceremony meant to celebrate Rwanda’s rise like a phoenix from the ashes of 1994 slaughter, today, the country will share its pride by honouring three Heads of State and government. Uganda’s Yoweri Museveni, Ethiopia’s Meles Zinawe and former Tanzanian President Julius Kambarage Nyerere (RIP) will be awarded Rwanda’s highest accolades for their contribution to the liberation struggle. The three leaders, all historically known for their liberation struggles, will also receive recognition for their powerful voice in condemning the act of Genocide.
