This year marks the 32nd commemoration of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi in Rwanda (Kwibuka32).

Since 7 April 2010, the Pan-African Parliament has joined the African Union community in remembering the lives lost, expressing solidarity with survivors, and committing to ensuring that such atrocities never happen again—whether in Rwanda, elsewhere in Africa, or beyond. This day also offers an opportunity to learn about Rwanda’s journey towards reconciliation, conflict resolution, nation-building, and homegrown solutions.

With the theme “Remember-Unite-Renew,” the annual commemoration seeks to enhance awareness among African people and the international community about the importance of life and humanity, while renewing the collective commitment to protect and uphold fundamental human rights.
