Video testimony of Marcel Rutagarama

“He who wants to burn the weeds in the garden gathers them first”, words Marcel Rutagarama will never forget. Born in Mugina, Kamonyi district, Marcel lost his mother and seven siblings in the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. He hid among corpses at a parish unable to move, after being severely wounded by killers who thought him dead.

I first heard Marcel’s testimony in 1995 in the auditorium of University of Rwanda when we were students there. Since then, his testimony will never get out of my mind! The most touching testimony and the most brave witness I’ve heard! Keep strong my brother, u have reasons to live❤

[@joshuamugumya4197]

He says that the terrorist attack on falcon 50 (presidential jet) and eventual assasination president habyarimana triggered (imbarutso) genocide. Isn't this genocide denial? Guha jenoside ishingiro?

Warababaye cyane Marcel, nagukundaga kubera ukuntu wigirira morale ntawakeka ko wababaye bigeze aho. Nakubonaga imihoro ku mutwe. Ikimwaro kubakumariye imiryango, nabanze kugihisha. Impore kdi twibuke twiyubaka

[@NdayisengaSimon]

Gusa abakoze genocide bazagira ikimwaro kugeza is irangiye .

I thank God Rwanda has the President like His Excellency Paul Kagame , Brave Genocide Survivors Army and Police who are driven by Humanity and the best interest of the country .If Rwanda had bad leadership as it did since 1959 to 1994, Rwanda couldn’t have been able to recover and become a nation that is now respected Worldwide .
