22 years on, Rwandans have envisaged and achieved a lot

East African presidents join Rwanda President Paul Kagame during Liberation Day celebrations.

Kigali: This week Rwanda celebrates its 22nd Liberation Day. For Rwandans liberation means moving from darkness to light, divisive politics to unity, hatred to love, discord to union but most importantly from hopelessness to life full of belief and promises.

July 4, 1994 marked the final overthrow of one of the world’s most brutal governments whose army and allied militias killed at least 10,000 people every day at the end of which over a million Tutsi had been massacred in just 90 days.
