By June 2, 1994—the 58th day of the 100-day Genocide against the Tutsi—the interim government responsible for orchestrating the mass killings remained committed to its campaign of extermination, while the Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF-Inkotanyi) intensified efforts to save civilians under threat.

Tito Rutaremara, Chairperson of Rwanda’s Advisory Council of Elders, has urged religious leaders to refrain from invoking God in discussions about the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, saying it was a human-planned crime committed and ultimately stopped by human action.

June 1, 1994 marked the 57th day of the 100-day Genocide against the Tutsi, as the interim government and its allies continued the systematic extermination of Tutsi across Rwanda.

Lieutenant Colonel Gaspard Harerimana, Senior Technology Officer at the Ministry of Defence, has called on young people to commit themselves to safeguarding Rwanda’s progress, urging them to unite under a shared responsibility of protecting national achievements.

Minister of National Unity and Civic Engagement, Dr. Jean-Damascène Bizimana, has said the international community was aware that the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi was being planned but failed to take action to prevent it.
