As they ended their Visit Rwanda tour, Arsenal legends Robert Pires and Ray Parlour visited the Kigali Genocide Memorial Centre in Gisozi and paid respect to more than 250,000 genocide victims laid to rest there.
“Arsenal legends Robert Pires and Ray together with their families paid respects to victims of the Genocide against the Tutsi and toured memorial exhibits to learn more about the history of Genocide”, said the Kigali Genocide Memorial via tweeter.
The two Arsenal legends have been in Rwanda for five-day visit related to agreements signed between Rwanda and Arsenal to promote Rwanda’s visibility through “Visit Rwanda” campaign.
The Kigali Genocide Memorial includes three permanent exhibitions, the largest of which documents the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. There is also a children’s memorial and an exhibition on the history of genocidal violence around the world. The Education Centre, Gardens, and Genocide Archive of Rwanda form part of a meaningful tribute to those who perished, and provide a powerful educational tool for visitors. (End)
