For over three decades Rwanda has been recovering from the almost unimaginable horror of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi.
On Tuesday the UN commemorated the systematic crimes committed there – in which more than one million people were killed – with ceremonies held at several of its offices around the world.
The event was attended by survivors of the massacre, senior UN officials and representatives of the Rwandan authorities including Karoli Martin Ngoga, Permanent Representative of Rwanda to the United Nations.
He sat down with UN News’s Assumpta Massoi and explained the significance of the ceremony held at UN headquarters in New York.
