He added: “In this age and time of social media, where we can learn, influence and be influenced, it's our responsibility, every one of us, to do all that is in our power, no matter how old or young we are, to stand firmly against hate in all forms, tribalism in all forms and genocide. “Therefore, it’s important for each of us to remember the words of the past to renew our minds, and renew our vows to be better, do better, and act against such repeating itself over again. “I'm proud of the people of Rwanda for showing the world that it is possible to overcome such unimaginable horror and inspire the rest of the world to do better and overcome them. Never again!” ALSO READ: Mr Eazi’s ChopLife Gaming partners with Rayon Sport, names Nandy as first brand ambassador Aimee Cyuzuzo, the Country Manager at Choplife Gaming, said, “On behalf of the Choplife family, I want to express our gratitude to our team members who have joined us today to honour the memory of our loved ones. “We extend our thanks to the Kigali Genocide Memorial for providing us with a sacred space to connect with our loved ones in spirit and to preserve the history of our nation's journey. We are also grateful to RPF Inkotanyi for their courage and sacrifice during the darkest moments of our history. “I personally was only four days old during the Genocide and lost my father. At times, I held onto hope that I might reunite with him. Although our tears may flow inward, we stand together in solidarity with the people of Rwanda and all survivors of the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi,” she said. Belinda Sablah, a Ghanaian living in Rwanda and Customer Service Representative, shared that it’s her second memorial visit after visiting Ntarama memorial located in Bugesera. However, every time she visits, she realizes the trauma Rwandans went through. Sablah perceives social media as a platform that can be used to mislead or disseminate facts about history, especially in this age of globalisation. “For individuals and social media, only the truth will help others understand. “However, one of the biggest takeaways is, that we need to be together, despite where we come from, ethnicity, and background as well. We should come together and love one another. Unity is a really powerful thing,” she said.
