Families turned against families, friends became foes, and a dark spirit of intentional and brutal violence engulfed a nation,\u201d Guterres said.<\/p>\n<p>Underscoring the terrible human suffering the Genocide inflicted on the victims, he expressed the need for a forever remembrance and acknowledged the resilience of survivors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will never forget the victims of this genocide. Nor will we ever forget the bravery and resilience of those who survived, whose courage and willingness to forgive remain a burst of light and hope amidst this dark chapter in human history,\u201d Guterres said.<\/p>\n<p>For him, hatred is a repugnant factor that leads to genocide, and must be shunned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, around the world, the darkest impulses of humanity are being awakened once more by the voices of extremism, division and hate. To those who would seek to divide us, we must deliver a clear, unequivocal and urgent message: never again,\u201d the UN boss noted.<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cOn this solemn day of remembrance, let\u2019s pledge to stand as one against all forms of hatred and discrimination. Let\u2019s ensure that the acts that began on 7 April 1994 are never forgotten \u2014 and never repeated.
