Radisson Blu & Kigali Convention Centre honour Genocide victims

As part of the Kwibuka 29 of the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi, the management and staff of Radisson Blu Hotel & Kigali Convention Centre on Wednesday, April 26, visited Kigali Genocide Memorial. Led by Rob Kucera, Complex General Manager & District Director East Africa, the staff honoured more than 250,000 victims of the Genocide against the Tutsi who are interred in the memorial. Kigali Genocide Memorial is an important place of remembrance and learning about the history of Rwanda before, during, and after the Genocide, which claimed more than one million lives within 100 days. Radisson Blu & Kigali Convention Centre management and staff were briefed on the history and decades of divisive politics that led to the Genocide against the Tutsi, one of the worst tragedies of the 20th century, and how Rwanda restored national unity, thanks to good leadership. “As Radisson Blu & Kigali Convention Centre, we take this visit to the memorial very seriously because we bring our staff to learn about the Genocide. We have to remember it and ensure that everyone understands what happened. It is quite emotional, but it’s essential to keep the “flame burning “as a symbol of hope and courage Kucera said. They laid wreaths to pay tribute to the Genocide victims. The national mourning week was closed on April 13, but commemoration activities will continue for 100 days until July 3, the eve of Liberation Day. On July 4, 1994, the RPA- Inkotanyi stopped the Genocide against the Tutsi and liberated Rwanda, putting an end to the era of divisive politics that plunged the country into one of the worst tragedies in history. Led by the Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF), the country has since embarked on the journey of national unity.
