The Rwandan ambassador to Ghana, Mrs Rosemary Mbabazi, has called on African leaders to draw lessons from the country's genocide experience and commit to unity and justice on the continent.

She said the President of Rwanda, Paul Kagame, has for the past 31 years held the country together by placing unity above everything else. "Always remember that to­gether we are strong but divided we can all fall.

Rwanda descend­ed into the abyss of genocide be­cause of division," she stressed.

Speaking at the 31st anniversa­ry of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda held in Ac­cra on Monday, she said Rwanda and the world stood in solidarity to remember the victims of this heinous crime.
