Meteo Rwanda’s Director General Message to the 22th Commemoration of 1994 Genocide against Tutsi

Today, on 7^th April 2016 we are commemorating the 22^th anniversary of the 1994 Genocide against TUTSI. As we remember the lives of over one million victims who lost their lives, Rwanda Meteorology Agency stands in solidarity with those who lost their beloved ones and wish them to be strong in these difficult moments. 

As we, Meteo Rwanda Staff pay tribute to those who perished during the Genocide, we are aware that there are those people who still have the Genocide Ideology. The theme of this year’s commemoration is: “Kwibuka 22: Fighting Genocide Ideology”. Because of that, Meteo Rwanda Staff remain committed to raise our voices fighting the Genocide ideology because we know that those who perpetrated the Genocide against the Tutsi, with their sympathizers have continued to deny it and distort the truth about what happened.

Thus, during the commemoration week, all Meteo Rwanda staff are determined to participate in the dialogues to be held at village level and participate in the various activities that aim to support the vulnerable Genocide Survivors. Rwanda Meteorology Agency will join the Ministry of Natural Resources during the event of remembering their former employees who perished in the Genocide against the Tutsi.

Rwanda Meteorology Agency will spare no effort in fighting against Genocide and its denial.

We wish all Rwandans strength and peace during these difficult moments.
