We have an obligation to those who died ... to remember

As we gather here today, we must remember that we have a responsibility to honor the legacy of those who lost their lives in the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi and ensure that we never forget the atrocities that were committed. It is our obligation to work towards a future where all individuals are treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their background, religion, and especially ethnicity.

We need be careful how we deal with those about us, when every death carries to some small circle of survivors, thoughts of so much omitted, and so little done- of so many things forgotten, and so many more which might have been repaired! There is no remorse so deep as that which is unavailing; if we would be spared its tortures, let us remember this, in time.

The truth telling process in a therapeutic one, we believe that special memorials must be constructed at the approaches to our major cities to serve as remembrance for all those who lost their lives during this national horror.

My wife and I — my wife and I — Camila — we spent most of last week on the ground with the families in Uvalde, Texas, and we shared stories, tears, and memories. The common thread, independent of the anger and the confusion and sadness, it was the same: How can these families continue to honor these deaths by keeping the dreams of these children and teachers alive? Again, how can the loss of these lives matter? So while we honor and acknowledge the victims, we need to recognize that this time it seems that something is different. There is a sense that perhaps there is a viable path forward. Responsible parties in this debate seem to at least be committed to sitting down and having a real conversation about a new and improved path forward — a path that can bring us closer together and make us safer as a country, a path that can actually get something done this time.

We should keep the dead before our eyes, and honor them as though still living

we should not forget this historical event and remembering the suffering of our people during the time of conflict.we have therefore encouraged memorial to be set up at this site to act as a form of reparations to promote reconciliation and peace in northern Uganda

It's our duty to honor the dead by bringing democracy to this country.

We want to give back memory, we want to give back dignity to the victims of the crimes in Chojnice.

“A lot has been achieved in the last 24 years, sacrifices were made by everyone for the country to be where it is today but we still have to remember the tragedies that befell us; that’s why we must commemorate as we also reflect on our past, ensure it never happens against and to further build a peaceful, stable and united country,” said Minister Uwacu.

We need more than anniversary sentimentalism and holiday piety and patriotism. Where necessary, we must confront and challenge the conventional wisdom. It is time to learn from those who fell here. Our challenge is to reconcile, not after the carnage and the mass murder, but instead of the carnage and mass murder. It is time to fly into one another's arms. It is time to act.

A critical evaluation of the past is always necessary, so as not to forget it, but also to set with clarity the landmarks of our effort to build ourselves, as part of constructing the future of our nation.

We should be considerate to the living; to the dead we owe only the truth.

Let us condemn all the deniers of the Genocide against the Tutsi so we give dignity to the deceased and respect the survivors.
