President @PaulKagame and the @FirstLadyRwanda lit the Flame of Remembrance. This flame, a symbol of hope and resilience, will burn brightly for 100 days, mirroring the length of the Genocide against the Tutsi. It serves as a beacon of remembrance, inspiring us to honour the past, cherish the present, and build a future rooted in unity and peace. #Kwibuka32
