“The Kigali Memorial Centre was opened on the 10th Anniversary of the Rwandan Genocide, in April 2004. The Centre is built on a site where over 250,000 people are buried. These graves are a clear reminder of the cost of ignorance.”

There are roughly 200 sites of genocide in Rwanda.

Saturday, 7 April, 2012 began the Week of Mourning to Commemorate 18 years since Rwanda's Genocide.
