Ambassador Jean Pierre Karabaranga addressed the audience and said in tthat all have also gathered here to reject genocide ideology, genocide denial and revisionism. “We are here to remind that justice for the victims is one of the most important tools to fight forever genocide, for a real NEVER AGAIN and a powerful tool in the healing process of the survivors”, said the Ambassador. “This is a moment to share our history. It’s an opportunity to reflect on what made the genocide happen, a time to try to understand how the unthinkable happened by confronting our past”.
