Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Parliamentarians have tasked the Ministry of National Unity and Civic Engagement (MINUBUMWE) to address challenges faced by vulnerable survivors of the Genocide against Tutsi.<\/p>\n

These challenges include medical care, education, shelter, and alleviation of poverty. The deadline set for these measures is six months.<\/p>\n

The development was announced on Wednesday, March 20, following the presentation of a report by the Commission of Unity of Rwandans, Human Rights, and Combating Genocide.<\/p>\n

The report detailed the findings from a trip conducted across the country from October 9 to 18, 2023.<\/p>\n

MP Veneranda Nyirahirwa, the chairperson of the commission, highlighted the purpose of the tour, which aimed to monitor the lives of vulnerable Genocide survivors and assess the services they receive.<\/p>\n

The report also examined progress in preserving evidence and testimonies of Genocide survivors, ensuring the history of the Genocide against the Tutsi is accurately recorded, and monitoring the activity of unit and reconciliation clubs among young people in secondary schools.<\/p>\n

Nyirahirwa acknowledged the support provided to survivors over the past 29 years but emphasized areas needing improvement. Issues raised by survivors included challenges in accessing healthcare, delays in receiving identification numbers, mental health issues, inadequate financial assistance, and housing shortages.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the commission noted shortcomings in preserving evidence and testimonies of the genocide, as well as maintaining historical monuments. Insufficient budgets and lack of coordination among various institutions were also identified as challenges.<\/p>\n

Nyirahirwa emphasized the existence of unity and reconciliation clubs in secondary schools but noted the need for improvement as well highlighting inadequate teaching materials on Rwanda’s history, especially regarding the Genocide against the Tutsi.<\/p>\n

Jean Damascene Bizimana, the Minister of National Unity and Civic Engagement said there are efforts to address these issues, including housing initiatives and improvements to history education among others.<\/p>\n
