President Paul Kagame, on the evening of April 7, 2025, participated in the annual Walk to Remember, an event held to commemorate the victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. The walk, which began at the Gasabo District Offices, ended at BK Arena, where the Evening of Remembrance took place.

President Kagame joined the participants in lighting the Flame of Hope, symbolizing resilience and the strength of the Rwandan people.

The walk was attended by a diverse group of individuals, including young people, artists, social media influencers, journalists, footballers, actors, and various leaders.

The event marked a significant return after it was postponed last year due to weather conditions. Additionally, for four years, the walk was not held due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.

April 7th is recognized worldwide as the International Day of Remembrance of the Genocide against the Tutsi, where people across the globe reflect on the horrific events of 1994.

According to a census conducted by the Ministry of Local Government between 2000 and 2002, over 1,074,017 Tutsis were killed over a span of one hundred days, from April 7 to July 1994.

This report, released in 2004, details the places where victims lived, their ages, names, and in some cases, the specific circumstances of their deaths.
