Akagera Park nearby residents were advised to preserve this park which will improve on tourism hence contribute to their development.

This was said by Telesphore Ngoga from Rwanda Development Board [RDB] in charge of connecting such parks and their close residents in the country, who added on saying that as the parks are preserved this will bring in more tourist which will increase on tourism production hence increase on the contribution given to the close residents.

“As many people visit the park, then market for tourism is also increased which makes it possible for the residents to sell any products they have to the tourists especially people with art and crafts hence be able to develop”, added on Ngoga.

“However though there is a programme of sharing the productivity got from tourism with the park’s neighbors, it was noted that many of such people still go hunting for the animals in the park which is a very big hindrance to developed tourism”, explained Ngoga.

He called on any one who finds such people to always give such information out and on time so that they can be dealt with

However, some of the residents said that they now know the benefits of preserving the parks.

Firipo Muhawenimana a resident of Mwili sector, Kayonza district said that with the help people are giving out to the different security organizations in getting park rangers this is a very every good sign that most of them know well the benefits of preserving the park.

“About 19 park rangers have so far been caught since January 2013 in Mwili sector”, explained on Muhawenimana.

Genocide memorials’ cleaning towards commemoration has proved to be comforting especially to genocide survivors who take the activity as restoring value the killers denied the victims.

This is because some 1994 Tutsi genocide survivors take time to clean and plant more flowers around memorial sites as a way of honoring the dead.

Ibrahim Ndori, a genocide survivor in Ruhango district confirms that seeing different people giving a hand in tidying those places towards commemoration gives them hope and happiness.

Among the people that turn up to clean genocide memorial sites include Red Cross Rwanda, students, and local leaders among others.

The vice-mayor for social affairs in Ruhango district, Jolie Germaine Mugeni says the district administration has continuously rendered support to make genocide survivors feel cared for.

Yakomeje avuga ko indi mpamvu abazize jenoside bashyingurwa mu nzibutso ari uburyo bwo gushyira imibiri yabo ahantu harinzwe, hatapfa kuvogerwa n’ubonetse wese.

Aha yatanze urugero rw’abantu bagiye bashyingura abantu babo mu ngo zabo hanyuma bakajya kuba ahandi hantu nk’i Kigali, nuko hakagira abaza kuhamena imyanda, ba nyir’abantu badahari.

Ikindi, ni uko ngo ahantu hasanzwe hashyinguwe abantu, biba byemewe ko nyuma y’imyaka 20 hashobora kwifashishwa mu bundi buryo. Urugero nk’iyo ari mu irimbi, nyuma y’imyaka 20 bashobora kugaruka bakahashyingura abandi bantu.

Ubuyobozi bw’iyi sindika butangaza ko bumaze gusura inzibutso nyinshi mu rwego rwo kurushaho gusobanukirwa n’amateka ya Jenocide  nk’urubyiruko zo mbaraga z’igihugu.

Uhagarariye iyi sindika mu ntara y’ iburasirazuba, Rwabarinda Aloys,yavuze ko impamvu bahisemo kuzengururka uturere twose basura inzibutso zaho ari uko benshi mu rubyiruko bahagarariye rw’abamotari Genocide yabaye bakiri bato cyane, bityo ngo  bakeneye gusobanukirwa neza n’ibyabaye mu Rwanda.

Yagize ati” Icyatumye duhitamo gusura inzibutso nuko abenshi mubo duhagarariye Jenocide yabaye bataravuka, n’abari baravutse bari abana niyo mpamvu twavuze tuti dusure inzibutso  tumenye amateka turwanye abapfobya Jenocide kuko tuzaba tuzi ukuri.”

Mu ijambo rye uhagarariye “Ibuka”umuryango uharanira inyungu z’abacitse ku icumu rya Jenocide mu Rwanda ku rwego rw’akarere ka Ngoma,Gihana Samson,yavuze ko abamotari ari urubyiruko rukeneye kumenya amateka y’ u Rwanda kuko bakiri bato na Jenocide yabaye bakiri bato abandi bataravuka.

Nyuma yo gusobanurirwa amateka ya Jenocide uru rubyiruko rwavuze ko kumenya amateka nk’ayo bituma bahangana n’abashaka gupfobya Jenocide ndetse n’abigisha ingengabitekerezo yayo.

The youth accompanied by their parents from Rwesero cell in Busasamana sector in Nyanza district on Thursday the 18^th.April.2013 visited Murambi memorial site in Nyamagabe district where most victims of the 1994 genocide against Tutsis are laid to rest.

This youth came to learn about the preparation and implementation of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsis in the 1994.

“Youth heard a lot of things during the commemoration period but they never exactly got to know all the answers to their questions about the 1994 genocide against Tutsis. The residents and leaders of Rwesero cell therefore decided that the youth can learn a lot from Murambi memorial site” explained Beatha Mukantaganira.

Mukantaganira also explained that the youth that visited Murambi Memorial Site is mainly composed of children who survived the 1994 atrocities, off springs of genocide survivors as well as children from families that perpetrated the 1994 genocide.

The youth learnt a lot from this memorial site as they saw bodies of genocide survivors, tools that killed them, learnt history and resolved to form a forum to ensure that genocide never happens ever again.

Jean de Dieu Murengezi a parent that had accompanied the youth between 15 and 20 years says “we thought it would be a good legacy to leave to our children for them to know about the 1994 genocide and for them to make sure it never happens ever again.”

Jean Pierre Ngirinshuti the president of IBUKA in Rwesero cell says the act of explaining the history thoroughly for the youth is a very good venture towards  securing an anti genocide future.

The people who prepared genocide were inhuman but now that Rwanda is ensuring a unified people who love their country and ready to protect it, there will never be genocide ever.
