Kigali, 09 April, 2024 / 9:57 pm (ACI Africa).
Members of the Africa Christian Professionals Forum (ACPF) have expressed their “solidarity” with the people of God in Rwanda as the landlocked country in the Great Rift Valley of Central Africa marks 30 years since the Rwandan genocide in which an estimated 800,000 people were murdered.
“The Africa Christian Professionals Forum (ACPF), dedicated to promoting and protecting the sanctity of Life, Family Values, and good governance, extends its solidarity to Rwanda as we commemorate the 30th anniversary of the genocide,” officials of the continental entity say in their Sunday, April 7 statement.
ACPF members join “Rwanda's government, her citizens, African Union member states, and the global community in remembering the tragic loss of innocent lives.”
Recalling the events of 1994 Rwandan genocide, which reportedly lasted 100 days, ACPF officials say, “Thirty years ago, humanity witnessed unspeakable violence, resulting in countless innocent deaths.”
“Today, we pause to reflect on the immense suffering endured by victims and their families, offering our deepest condolences to all affected,” they add.
