Minister of Local Government, Dominique Habimana, has urged Rwandans to take collective responsibility in confronting genocide ideology, warning that its persistence remains a threat to national unity and stability.

The Minister of National Unity and Civic Engagement, Dr. Jean Damascene Bizimana, has said that the former Gikongoro Prefecture was among the areas where the Genocide against the Tutsi was carried out with extreme intensity, noting that Nyamagabe District ranks second nationwide in terms of families that were completely exterminated.
