thousands Tutsis killed in the 1994 Genocide against Tutsis.

speeches.

The Genocide in Nyamata has left many families homeless, others living with
corporeal and emotional wounds.
In her speechless testimonies, Mukarumanzi Claudette narrated her ordeal
events during the Genocide in which she was shot several times, cut with machetes,
buried alive and many more events that she said “I can’t speak about that you
are mature you know what I want to mean”,
However after all, she thanks the
Rwanda Patriotic Army for the liberation of this country adding that “My
special gratitude goes to President Paul Kagame who re-established calm in this
country and brought in good cohesion among Rwandans where many of Tutsis were
willing to revenge against Hutus who killed their parents, children and other family
members.”
After the 1994 Genocide against Tutsis, the Government of Rwanda has put
more resources in uniting and rebuilding trust among Rwandans while at the same
time rebuilding infrastructures across the country.
Today Rwanda is developing very fast and many international reports ranks
Rwanda among the countries with the fastest economic growth.
The Government is constructing the Bugesera International Airport which
residents of Ntarama said it is a good sign of how the country is developing
fast despite challenges left by the Genocide.
