Rwanda is a model for our war-torn nation- Sudanese Ambassador #rwanda #RwOT

He shared this message during a visit to the Kigali Genocide Memorial, where officials from the Sudanese Embassy and Sudanese nationals residing in Rwanda were taken through Rwanda's history, from the colonial era to the execution of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.

Musa stated that they wanted to learn from the resilience of the Rwandan people, who managed to stop the genocide, rebuild their nation, and move forward without forgetting their past.

"What I would say to Rwandans is that they must continue to remain united and stay the course of nation-building. They must preserve the unity they have today, and strive for lasting peace, development, security, and stability in their country," he said.

The conflict in Sudan, which began in April 2023, involves fighting between the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and government forces. It has already claimed over 24,000 lives and displaced more than 13 million people. Civilian property and infrastructure have also been devastated.

In his message to the people of Sudan, Ambassador Musa described Rwanda as a clear example of how a nation can recover and thrive after going through extreme turmoil.

"It is a country that rose from difficult times, during the genocide, and achieved progress through unity, strong leadership, and firm principles. We in Sudan can also achieve this," he emphasized.

A Sudanese national, Rwan Eljack, shared her impressions from the memorial visit, saying she was deeply moved by what she saw and learned, especially in contrast to Rwanda's current state of peace and progress.

"What I saw was truly heartbreaking, but I believe everyone who visits this place leaves with a lesson. As Sudanese youth, we've learned that even after a dark chapter, there is hope for rebuilding. We believe that even our two-year-long war will one day end," she said.

The Kigali Genocide Memorial, located in Gisozi, is the final resting place of over 250,000 victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, who were killed in Kigali and surrounding areas.
