In the years since the genocide, there have been those who have sought to deny that it ever happened. They claim that the Tutsi people are exaggerating their suffering and that the genocide was not as widespread as it is claimed.

These deniers are ng a great disservice to the victims of the genocide and to the truth. Their denial only serves to prolong the pain of the survivors and to make it more difficult for the world to learn from the mistakes of the past.

The Evidence of the Genocide

There is overwhelming evidence that the Rwandan Genocide did indeed take place. This evidence includes:

Testimony from survivors
Eyewitness accounts from international observers
Physical evidence, such as mass graves
Official government documents

The evidence against the deniers is overwhelming. There is no credible evidence to support their claims that the genocide did not happen.

The Motives of the Deniers

There are many reasons why people deny the Rwandan Genocide. Some are motivated by racism or hatred of the Tutsi people. Others are motivated by political expediency. They believe that denying the genocide will help them to gain power or to maintain their grip on power.

Whatever their motives, the deniers are ng a great harm to the victims of the genocide and to the truth. Their denial only serves to prolong the pain of the survivors and to make it more difficult for the world to learn from the mistakes of the past.

The Importance of Remembering

It is important to remember the Rwandan Genocide so that we can learn from the mistakes of the past and prevent future genocides. We must never forget the victims of the genocide and we must never allow their suffering to be denied.

We must also remember the perpetrators of the genocide and hold them accountable for their crimes. We must never allow them to get away with their crimes and we must never allow them to deny their responsibility for the genocide.

The Rwandan Genocide was a terrible tragedy. It is important to remember the victims of the genocide and to learn from the mistakes of the past. We must never allow the genocide to be denied and we must never allow the perpetrators of the genocide to get away with their crimes.
