Former President
A truly heart-wrenching visit to a memorial that reminds us of what exactly violence can do to destroy, kill and desecrate fellow human beings and an entire nation. But also a testament to the spirit of overcoming and reconciliation. Many thanks and God bless.

I have spent a few days in Rwanda, not knowing much about the country apart from what I have seen in the news. Two things have struck me. The first is that this country has been through such widespread trauma. It has been incredibly upsetting to go through this memorial but in my opinion, so […]

Chief Justice
It is a pity and a great tragedy that the United Nations didn’t come to the rescue of the Tutsi at a time in history when there was great extermination of the Tutsi. History will judge the United Nations very harshly for this devolution of their international responsibility.

May the souls of the Genocide victims rest in […]

It was a moving experience to go through this memorial of the 1994 Genocide. It was a great tragedy that the world did not stop, but as we see almost 30 years later, Rwanda is now a peaceful country. Thanks for taking us in this tour. We shall never forget.

Forget not the history. Bury the machetes and hatred. Stay united for a peaceful and prosperous future. Our hearts are with the people who are gone.
President
I am deeply touched, but also inspired to see that after such horrifying atrocities Rwanda has found atonement and reconciliation. We Hungarians share your commitment to peace and peaceful coexistence. Lest we forget. You cannot understand the present and future of Rwanda without being confronted with its past. Thank you!
