Hi
@USAmbRwanda
- is this attempt at historical revision official US policy?
This is an insult to the victims of the Genocide against the Tutsi.
Never Again can only be a reality if we are honest about the past - and with ourselves.

The United States stands with the people of Rwanda during Kwibuka 30 in remembering the victims of genocide. We mourn the many thousands of Tutsis, Hutus, Twas, and others whose lives were lost during 100 days of unspeakable violence.
