Well done - sober as it should be and full of information. We found a guide there who was extremely knowledgeable
Indrukwekkend om te horen wat er in 1994 heeft plaatsgevonden
Informative
Here's another sad story worth learning about. Yes we wrote tribute and took beautiful pictures in the stones. It's free entry and it's next to the Kigali exhibition and cultural village
This historical place is tranquil, well-kept and worth visiting while in Kigali. It's located closer to the city centre. Information on what happened to the commandos is well-documented on the walls. The staff was welcoming and supportive. It is free to visit here, they accept donations for maintenance of the area.
A great memorial for such a horrible event. The focus on not only the events, but the surrounding circumstances was enlightening. I appreciate the call to do better at the end for the UN and the world as a whole.
Its for free. So definitely you need to pass by to this historical place. Amazing and at the same time sad. Not to far from the main Kigali sign in the city center. Walking distance. Super safe here. And super clean. So no worries walking around.
Yet another reminder of how much hatred, can be like a world fire, engulfing anyone in it's path, regardless of origins or intentions. This is the place where, on 7 April, 1994, the then Rwandan Prime Minister and 10 Belgian Commandos/ UN Peacemakers, detailed to protect her, were cornered and shot dead ...
A space to reflect, learn and pray. The brutality meted out to the Belgian peacekeepers and former prime minister demonstrates how low we can sink as human beings. But contrast that with the restoration going on in the nation today, which is a tribute, at least, to what those who lost their lives were working for. May Rwanda continue to find it's humanity again and reach the Godly potential we all have.
Es ist ein kleiner Ort, bestehend aus einer Baracke, in welcher sich dramatische Szenen abgespielt haben. Im Außenbereich gibt es einen kleinen Garten mit Stelen/Säulen. Der Besuch war interessant und lehrreich. Es genügen ca. 30 Minuten.
This is the place where 10 Belgian peacekeepers were slaughtered during the Rwandan genocide. There is security at the entrance, but one can enter. Entrance is free of charge, and there is a guide on-site for inquiries and guiding. Worth spending 10-15 minutes here.
A place that resonates strongly with the unfortunate fate of the 10 Belgian soldiers who lost their lives on the first day of the genocide in 1994. The outside has been kept the way it was since 1994, with bulletholes all over the walls. Inside, you can read a detailed recount of the events that led to the killing of the 10 soldiers. The place is kept in a very good condition and the only guide on site is very helpful. No ticket is necessary, but donation seems to be the right thing to do.
Absolutely worth a visit. Completely free - and very safe area. No problems at all
