Rwanda marks 30 years since the 1994 genocide, with President Paul Kagame leading commemoration events in Kigali alongside foreign dignitaries and former US President Bill Clinton. The genocide, which saw 800,000 people killed in 100 days, was triggered by the assassination of Hutu President Juvenal Habyarimana. The international community's failure to intervene has been a cause of lingering shame, with calls for remaining genocide suspects to be held accountable. Rwanda is observing a week of national mourning, with events including the lighting of a remembrance flame and a call to ensure that the genocide is never forgotten.
