President Paul Kagame and First Lady Jeannette Kagame, on July 4, joined tens of thousands of Rwandans and friends of Rwanda at the newly renovated ultramodern 45,000-seat Amahoro National Stadium to celebrate the 30th liberation anniversary. The celebrations mark the triumph of the RPF-Inkotanyi and its armed wing RPA over the genocidal regime that orchestrated and executed the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. The national celebrations, which saw the newly-refurbised stadium filled to capacity, were marked with a military parade by the Rwanda Defence Force and Rwanda National Police, a cultural performance by the national cultural troupe Urukurereza, and performances by other artistes.
