Rwandan President Paul Kagame (Rear) delivers a speech during a ceremony marking the 27th commemoration of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Kigali, capital city of Rwanda, on April 7, 2021. The central African nation on Wednesday began the annual national commemoration for over 1 million victims that lasts for three months, including a mourning week at the beginning. More than 500 Rwandans, friends of Rwanda, members of diplomatic corps gathered in Kigali's indoor sports complex, Kigali Arena, for the ceremony, which invited fewer people than previous years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
