Genocide memorials in Rwanda

In 100 days, more than 1,000,000 people were murdered……..!! But the genocidaires did not kill a million people. They killed one, then another, then another……!! day after day….!!, hour after hour….!!, minute by minute….!! Every minute of the day, someone, somewhere, was being murdered, screaming for mercy….. and receiving none.

By the end of the 1994 Rwanda genocide, about 85% of the Tutsi population had been killed across Rwanda. Bodies were floating on water, lying on streets and others in mass graves. Many genocide museums were constructed to commemorate this tragedy.

After the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, several places were gazetted into museums to commemorate what happened in the genocide. These are found in different areas around Rwanda and attract a number of tourists into the country on addition to mountain gorilla tracking adventure.
