International Day of Reflection on the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda in 2021

Today marks the International Day of Reflection on the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. More than one million people – overwhelmingly Tutsi, but also moderate Hutu, and others who opposed the genocide – were systematically killed in less than 3 months. #kwibuka27 https://t.co/2Hrp89wcem

why do we need a day of remembrance? because the Holocaust was the systematic and state-sponsored genocide of the Jewish people. millions of Jews were slaughtered in concentration and death camps, were segregated in ghettoes, and our culture was deliberately eradicated.

it’s holocaust remembrance day (yom hashoah). take a minute to remember the 6 million lives lost in the genocide. i’ll leave some links below to threads & carrds to educate yourself on the holocaust & anti-semitism, an issue that is still very much alive in our society.

A memory from #Rwanda genocide on Intnl Day of Reflection #Kwibuka I first saw this child-clinging-to-mother-in-moment-of-slaughter 1994. Couldn’t bear to return for years till @PaulKagame invited to see changes. Now sacred memorial-in-situ. Remember to learn #Tigray #Ethiopia https://t.co/Pf6ixsxess

Today, 7 April is the International Day of Reflection of the Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, millions will observe a moment of silence. It is a day of reflection, at the same time it should be a day of action to save those facing genocide in Ethiopia and Myanmar.
