eech below)*.Your sacrifices are a gift to the nation. They are the seed from which the new Rwanda grows.*.Thank you for allowing your humanity and patriotism to prevail over your grief and loss. Thank you very much.*.Historical clarity is a duty of memory that we cannot escape. Behind the words “Never Again”, there is a story whose truth must be told in full, no matter how uncomfortable.*.Twenty years is short or long depending on where you stand but there is no justification for false moral equivalence. The passage of time should not obscure the facts, lessen responsibility, or turn victims into villains.*.People cannot be bribed or forced into changingtheir history. And no country is powerful enough, even when they think that they are, to change the facts. After all, les faits sont têtus.*.All genocides begin with an ideology — a systemof ideas that says: This group of people here, they are less than human and they deserve to be exterminated.*.The colonial theory of Rwandan society claimed that hostility between something called “Hutu”, “Tutsi”, and “Twa” was permanent and necessary. This was the beginning of the genocide against the Tutsi, as we saw it twenty years ago.*.However, Africans are no longer resigned to being hostage to the world’s low expectations.*.We listen to and respect the views of others. Butultimately, we have got to be responsible for ourselves*.Managing the diversity in our society should not be seen as denying the uniqueness of every Rwandan.*.This is why I say to Rwandans — let’s not get diverted. Our approach is as radical and unprecedented as the situation we faced. speech zumusaza ,paul kagame 2014
