Gen. Kabarebe Tips ANOCA-Zone V Championship Participants in Rwanda

Gen. Kabarebe described the context of the genocide aftermath against the Tutsis that blanketed the country in 1994. He reminded the games participants that the majority of people who played a big role in implementing the genocide in Rwanda were youth.

Gen. James Kabarebe in a talk with Youth at the University of Rwanda, Huye.

‘’ The colonizers came and divided us into parts basing on race. Hatred started since 1959, Tutsis were killed, their homes set to fire and others evacuated until the year of 1994 when the genocide was largely implemented by the Rwandan youth at the daylight’’ Gen. Kabarebe says, adding that the APR youth led by the President Kagame decided to stop the Genocide against the Tutsis in 1994.

William Blick Directing ANOCA Zone V games in Rwanda complemented adding that he expresses gratitude towards APR military courage for liberating the country from hands of bad leadership and that the games aim at instilling peace, unity, humanity and to build good relation among the 11 countries.

‘’ We take the games to Rwanda for not just championship but to learn from Rwanda’s history, because we believe that our players will be ambassadors in their countries to tell reality from their experiences; Says William.’’

Rwanda and other countries on the earth planet still have a heavy task to teach the youth about peacekeeping and love since they have future of the world in their hands.
