UN-RWANDA GENOCIDE-COMEMORATION

People observe a minute of silence during an event to commemorate the international day of reflection on the Rwanda genocide, at the United Nations headquarters in New York, April 13, 2018. April 7 was designated by the UN General Assembly in 2003 as the international day of reflection on the Rwanda genocide to commemorate the 1994 atrocities committed by members of the Hutu majority government. An estimated 500,000 to 1 million Rwandans were brutally murdered during 100 days from April 7 to mid-July, the overwhelming majority of the victims being Tutsis. As this year's April 7 was a Saturday, the world body held a commemoration event this Friday at the General Assembly hall. (Xinhua/Li Muzi)
