The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall shares inaugural royal visit in Kingali, Rwanda.
The Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla visited to Rwanda and on their first day in Kigali paid tribute to the victims of 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. A series of photos of the event was shared on the official account of The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall's Instagram. They wrote,
"We remember all victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi."
"On an inaugural Royal visit to Rwanda and Their Royal Highnesses’ first day in Kigali, The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall have paid their respects to victims and reflected on the Genocide of 1994."
"📍 The Kigali Genocide Memorial is the final resting place for more than 250,000 of the approximately 1 million victims of the Genocide."
"📍 The Rwanda Women’s Network Village of Hope aims to support women survivors of the genocide with shelter, training on vocational skills and subsidised school fees."
"📍 Nyamata Church was a site of gathering for about 10,000 people in the 1994 Genocide, as it was mistakenly considered a place of safety. The Church has now been converted into one of Rwanda’s six national memorial sites, with over 45,000 victims buried in the grounds."
"📍 Both perpetrators and victims have moving and painful testimonies of the 1994 Genocide. Reconciliation villages, such as Mbyo, help to build the resilience needed for Rwanda to leave the past in history and for communities to live together."
"Thank you for bravely sharing your stories today."
