Rwandan genocide survivor has come to Yerevan as a sister of pain

Rwandan genocide survivor has come to Yerevan as a sister of pain

YEREVAN, 22 APRIL, ARMENPRESS. Esther Mujavayo, 58, has come to Yerevan to not only share the pain for the Armenian Genocide with the Armenian people, but to also join the Armenian people in proving that, like the Armenians, the tribes having experienced the Rwandan genocide have also survived and can’t be killed.

 “I have come here as a sister of pain. I am here as a survivor of the Rwandan genocide. I have been living with this pain for 21 years now. I was lucky to stay alive. They killed my husband, father, sister and my husband’s relatives. They were killed, but I stayed alive to bear that pain and live with that memory,” Mujavayo mentioned during the forum entitled “Against the Crime of Genocide”, as “Armenpress” reports.

 Mujavayo paused from time to time during her speech as she remembered the horrors of the past, wiped the tears and kept repeating: “We survived, we must live for the sake of those who were killed.”

 “By remembering your pain, I am also your sister who was saved and survived,” Mujayavo mentioned, adding that she compares the Armenians to a tree that hasn’t dried, and the small branch of which has given life to an enormous tree.
