“During the genocide, people were sometimes given the option of paying for a less painful death. There is another story I learned about at the time, which always sticks in my mind, about a woman at a roadblock, in her final moments. She left us a lesson that every African should live by. When asked by the killers how she wanted to die, she looked them in the eye, and spit in their face. Today, because of the accident of survival, our only choice is what life we want to live. Our people will never — and I mean never — be left for dead again.” President Kagame | Kwibuka30.
