On the International Day of Reflection on the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, William Ngabonziza, Chairperson of the Rwandan Community in South Sudan, said the day is a time for mourning, reflection, and renewed commitment to ensuring such atrocities never happen again. He highlighted unity, accountability, and strong leadership as key factors behind Rwanda’s recovery, and said South Sudan can draw lessons from Rwanda by promoting reconciliation, rejecting hate speech, embracing diversity, and building peace from the community level upward. He also invited the public to join commemoration activities in Juba and other parts of South Sudan in solidarity with the victims and survivors.
