Twenty-eight years after the start of its genocide, in which some 800,000 people were killed, Rwanda is rebuilding with hope and shining with a new light. Speaking at a commemoration ceremony in 2019, President Paul Kagame said, "Our bodies and minds bear amputations and scars, but none of us is alone. We Rwandans have granted ourselves a new beginning. We exist in a state of permanent commemoration, every day, in all that we do ... Today, light radiates from this place."
