Kinyinya Genocide Memorial

Kigali Monument

The Kinyinya Genocide Memorial is an urban tribute located within Kigali’s Gasabo District. It serves as both a burial ground and a place of remembrance for those who perished in the genocide against the Tutsi. The memorial site is part of Rwanda's broader network dedicated to preserving the memory of this tragic period, contributing significantly to historical education and commemoration.

Established post-genocide, Kinyinya Memorial honours victims through local ceremonies that include survivor testimonies and remembrance activities organised with local authorities. It commemorates not only those buried there but also members of the local school community who were killed during this tumultuous time. The memorial site is a crucial component in Rwanda's efforts to document and preserve physical evidence of the genocide, ensuring that the events are remembered and understood by future generations.
