The High Representative of the African Union (AU), General Sekouba Konate, yesterday arrived in the country for a three-day working visit.
On his arrival, Konate visited Gisozi Genocide Memorial site.
Konate who is charge of the operationalization of the African Standby Force, said that Rwanda has a lot to offer African countries in terms unity and reconciliation.
"Elsewhere in Africa and the World, people should not just say "Never Again”, but come and witness what has been achieved and even learn,” Konate said.
He appreciated the measures the government has taken in rebuilding the country after the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.
The General said it was unfortunate that Genocide revisionists exist, saying that people must accept the truth about what happened in the country.
Today, he will award medals to 538 Rwanda Defence Force (RDF) officials of the 67th Infantry Battalion which served in the African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS) from October 2005 until April 2006.
