MUSEUMS AND MEMORIALS
GENOCIDE MEMORIAL - GISOZI
The people of Rwanda embrace peace and
reconciliation. They are committed to fight the
ideology of genocide. The memorials found
throughout the country are moving testimonies
in memory of the 1994 Genocide against the
Tutsi. Inaugurated on the 10th anniversary of
the Rwandan genocide, the Kigali Genocide
Memorial is where 259,000 victims have been
buried. This memorial also serves to educate
about genocide in the 20th Century.
CAMP KIGALI: BELGIAN
MEMORIAL
A small museum in Kigali City lies at the site of
the massacre of 10 Belgian UN Blue Berets. At
the onset of Genocide under the command of
General Dallaire, they were deployed to guard
the house of the then Prime Minister Agatha
Uwilingiyimana. When the genocide began,
Presidential Guard soldiers invaded the home,
disarmed the Belgians and transported them to
Camp Kigali where they killed them.
