Former presidential candidate, Gbenga Hashim, has paid a solemn visit to the Kigali Genocide Memorial in Rwanda, in honour of the victims of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi.
In a post on his social media page, Hashim reflected on the tragic events of the 100-day massacre, which claimed the lives of over one million people.
The memorial, which also serves as the final resting place for approximately 250,000 victims, stands as a symbol of remembrance and national healing.
He described Rwanda’s history as both painful and instructive, noting that the genocide remains a stark reminder of the dangers of division, while also highlighting the country’s remarkable journey toward reconciliation and resilience.
“We remember, we reflect, and we commit to a better future,” he wrote.
The Kigali Genocide Memorial continues to attract global leaders, scholars, and visitors, serving as a place of reflection and a call to prevent future atrocities.
