IBUKA France has reported that the Genocide against the Tutsi memorial in the city of Rouen has been vandalized by unidentified individuals.

The Ministry of Defence (MINADEF) has pledged to advocate for the expansion of the Musanze Genocide Memorial Site to enhance its capacity to preserve historical evidence and honour victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.

April 16, 1994 marked the 10th day of the 100-day Genocide against the Tutsi, as killings intensified across Rwanda under a coordinated campaign to exterminate Tutsi.

Survivors of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi continue to share powerful testimonies featuring the phrase “Ni uko Inkotanyi ziraza,” a Kinyarwanda expression meaning “that’s how the Inkotanyi arrived”, which has come to symbolize the moment of rescue, survival, and renewed hope when Rwanda Patriotic Army (RPA) forces intervened to stop the genocide.

The Minister of National Unity and Civic Engagement, Jean Damascène Bizimana, has warned against the use of the term “attempted genocide,” emphasizing that genocide is a deliberate, long-term process that cannot be described as an attempt.

Authorities in Bugesera District have commemorated more than 3,000 Tutsi killed at Rebero Hill in Mayange Sector during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.

The Rwanda Investigation Bureau (RIB) has reported a 38.1% decrease in cases related to genocide ideology and associated offenses in 2026 compared to 2025.
