Speaker of House of Commons of Canada Greg Fergus visited today residents of the Unity and Reconciliation Village in Mayange Sector, Bugesera District, in Eastern Province of Rwanda.
The ‘Reconciliation’ village brings together both survivors and perpetrators of the Genocide Against the Tutsi who work together towards a better future. It is located in Mayange Sector, Mbyo Cell, Rwimikoni village in Eastern Province.
‘Reconciliation’ village is one of the initiatives by the Rwandan government post the horrific genocide of 1994. In this initiative, survivors of the genocide live side by side with the repentant ex-‘perpetrators’ of the genocide.
Speaker Greg Fergus and his delegation are in Rwanda for the 30th commemoration of the genocide against the Tutsi. “Kwibuka30”. (End)
