Kigali Genocide Memorial

Open tomorrow at 09:00-17:00 (admission ends at 16:00)
Tania Akter (Sumi):“Visiting the Kigali Genocide Memorial was a deeply moving and powerful experience. It offers a profound reflection on Rwanda’s history, honoring the lives lost while inspiring hope through reconciliation and peace. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, emotional, and educational—shedding light on the strength of the Rwandan people. It's a place of remembrance, learning, and healing. If you're in Kigali, this memorial is a must-visit to truly understand the resilience of a nation.”

Museums
Open tomorrow at 08:00-17:00
Vanessa Meng:“The Rwandan Museum of Art was rebuilt from the former presidential palace and has lived in two presidents. It was mentioned in the "Rwanda Hotel" that the president who was blown up by the then Vice President on the plane was the last one to live here. Inside are more than 100 artists'works of art about Rwanda's tortuous history and current development and construction. Rwanda has experienced three massacres, mostly caused by ethnic issues, and now there is only one ethnic group in Rwanda, the Rwandans. She is surrounded by Congo, Uganda, Tanzania and Burundi. These four countries are bigger than her, and their resources and location are also superior to her. Today, the existence of such a country in a crack is closely related to the obedience of its leaders and people. According to friends, the current president first helped Uganda to become independent, and then returned with his army to Rwanda, which was still in civil strife at that time, to calm the war. During this period, Congo fought two battles hundreds of times as many as her. The battlefields were in Congo and all of them won. They had to say that their troops were really super-powerful. Today, there are still four presidents in African countries who rely on Rwandan troops to defend their security. This should be the legendary "mercenary".”
