I witnessed Genocide, says Tz army chief

Lt. Gen. Abdulhaman Shimbo, the deputy chief of staff of the Tanzanian People’s Defence Force (TPDF), was left a distraught man, yesterday, after touring Kigali Genocide Memorial Centre, due to memories of what he saw during the country’s darkest chapter. He was accompanied by several Tanzanian military officers. Shimbo, who has been in Rwanda for the just-concluded EAC military drills, said he personally witnessed the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, from the Tanzanian side of the border where he was deployed at the time.
