Rwandan High Commissioner to Ghana, Aisa Kirabo Kacyra, is urging Rwandans everywhere to reflect on the of Rwanda they desire and work towards attaining them.

Speaking at a ceremony to mark 27 years since their country was liberated following ethnic genocide on ethnic Tutsis by their fellow countrymen, the Hutus, the High Commissioner urged her countrymen and women to do their part to keep Rwanda United.

In just 100 days in 1994, about 800,000 people were slaughtered in Rwanda by ethnic Hutu extremists.

They were targeting members of the minority Tutsi community and their political opponents, irrespective of their ethnic origin.

With meticulous organisation. Lists of government opponents were handed out to militias who went and killed them, along with all of their families.

Neighbours killed neighbours, and some husbands even killed their Tutsi wives, saying they would be killed if they refused.

At the time, ID cards had people's ethnic group on them, so militias set up roadblocks where Tutsis were slaughtered, often with machetes which most Rwandans kept around the house.

Thousands of Tutsi women were taken away and kept as sex slaves, according to the BBC.

"We must be inspired, individually and collectively, to continue to play our part and build the Rwanda we want as enshrined in our vision 2050. If one were to ask you what is the Rwanda we want, what will look it look like, how will we define it? A united Rwanda.

"A Rwanda with the people having a high income and considered a high-income country with inclusive and sustainable socio-economic development", Rwandan High Commissioner to Ghana Aisa Kirabo Kacyra stressed.

She also expressed what she says was the gratitude of the whole of Rwanda to the Rwandan Army for liberating the people 27 years ago and continue protecting them.

A total of 93 people were indicted for the genocide, and after lengthy trials, dozens of senior officials in the former regime were convicted of genocide - all of them Hutus.
