The Rwanda High Commission in Kenya on Thursday celebrated the country's 29th anniversary of liberation. Also known as Kwibohora, the 29th edition marks the end of genocide and the defeat of the government that executed it on July 4, 1994. Mogaka said the day marks the end of one of the darkest chapters in the history of the land of thousand hills. “It symbolises the triumph of the Rwanda people’s resilience, courage and unwavering spirit in the face of adversity,” she said. She said the day remembers sacrifices made to honour the memory of those who lost their lives and celebrate the remarkable progress the country has made since the fateful day in 1994.
