RWANDAN-NYAMAGABE-GENOCIDE-ANNIVERSARY-COMMEMORATION

Bishop Celestin Hakizimana, 56, poses for a photo at Gikongoro Cathedral in Nyamagabe district, southern Rwanda, on April 3, 2019. Every year during the 100-day commemoration in line with the period of the genocide, members of churches in the area will go to the Murambi Genocide Memorial to pray for all victims in the genocide, said Celestin Hakizimana, bishop of Gikongoro Catholic Diocese. Under the instruction of Hakizimana, Gikongoro Cathedral's department for reconciliation and healing teaches genocide perpetrators to reintegrate with others and to ask forgiveness. Commemoration, reconciliation and healing have become part of the mission of the 56-year-old in the post-genocidal era, who saved people from the genocide in 1994. (Xinhua/Lyu Tianran)
