PM expresses solidarity with Rwanda

Addis Ababa, April 7, 2020 (FBC) –Prime Minister Dr Abiy Ahmed has expressed his solidarity with the people and President of Rwanda on the occasion of the 26th anniversary of the 1994 genocide.

Rwandans start today their week-long commemoration of the 26 anniversary of the country’s genocide in which an estimated 800,000 ethnic Tutsi and moderate Hutus were killed.

In a Twitter post, the Prime Minister said “I express my solidarity with the people of Rwanda and my brother Paul Kagame as you commemorate the 26th anniversary of the Genocide.”

“As a people you overcame a dark time, drawing on unity, resilience and faith. Key values for all of us to emulate in our current challenge,” he added.

Last week, Rwanda said the commemoration will take place with limited events and participants due to the global coronavirus outbreak.
