Edouard Kayihura, another genocide survivor, said there is one thing that haunts him.
I lost parents, I lost cousins. I lost everyone in my family. Its now me alone Why did I survive? Maybe to tell this story, he said.
Rwandan diplomat Yvette Rugasaguhunga said unity is important in moving on.
The unity has to really go beyond the borders of Rwanda. Thats why we invited the world to commemorate with us to reflect on the lessons and make sure that never again is actually a reality in the world, said Rugasaguhunga.
Gaetan Gatete, the head of the Rwandan-American community in the U.S., said he thought the world had learned its lesson.
But unfortunately, after 20 years, we are still seeing it happen all over the world in Central Africa and South Sudan, said Gatete.
Still, his message is one of hope.
We just dont want to stay in 1994. Theres more to what happened to Rwanda. Theres a rebuilding of the country and of its people, said Gatete.
Rwandas ambassador to the U.S., Mathilde Mukantabana, said that while commemorating the genocide means reliving very difficult moments, its still important to find answers to why there was such hatred in her country. She said that she and others owe it to the victims, survivors and future generations to keep searching for answers.
