** RWANDA GENOCIDE ANNIVERSARY ** Rwandans have marked the 20th anniversary of the genocide that killed at least 800,000 people over a period of 100 days. Thousands of Rwandans and world leaders gathered at Amahoro Stadium in the capital, Kigali, on Monday to remember the victims of the 1994 massacre. As we pay tribute to the victims, both the living and those who have passed, we also salute the unbreakable Rwandan spirit in which we owe the survival and renewal of our country, said Paul Kagame, Rwandas president. Kagame and Ban Ki-moon, the UN Secretary General, lit a flame at the Kigali Genocide Memorial Centre to remember an estimated million Rwandans who died in a period of three months of machete and gunfire attacks that mostly targeted the countrys minority Tutsi population.
