BEYOND SURVIVAL: LESSONS FROM RWANDA

Today in London, Ishami Foundation’s Founder, @e_murangwa , joins fellow genocide survivor and author Marie-Rose Rurangirwa for Race Equality Network’s Black History Month closing conversation on memory, healing, reconciliation and racial equality.

Remembering the past is not enough. We must take responsibility for the world we build today.

Today, Ishami Foundation honours Dafroza Mukarumongi Gauthier as we bid her farewell in Reims, France.

Together with her husband, Alain Gauthier, she dedicated her life to pursuing justice for the victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.

In our book, 100 Days, 100 Stories – Rwandan Voices on the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi (pp. 201–202), written by our very own Joy Ingabire, Dafroza shared the personal story behind her lifelong mission.

Reflecting on the suffering of genocide survivors, she said:

“Yes, you may have suffered. But at least, you did it as a family.”

Her words capture the profound loss endured by survivors and the importance of justice, truth and accountability.

Ishami Foundation will continue to honour Dafroza’s legacy by keeping her story and mission alive through storytelling, education and the preservation of survivors’ testimonies, inspiring future generations to stand for justice and resist impunity.

Rest in peace, Dafroza. Your courage and legacy will continue to inspire generations.

An important update in the pursuit of justice for the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi: the UK trial of Dr Vincent Brown/Bajinya, accused of genocide-related offences, is expected to take place in October 2027.

At Ishami Foundation, we remain committed to remembrance, truth and accountability, ensuring that the pursuit of justice continues and future generations learn from the past.

TRIBUTE TO DAFROZA MUKARUMONGI-GAUTHIER

Today, we mourn the passing of Dafroza Mukarumongi-Gauthier, a courageous survivor who dedicated her life to the pursuit of truth, justice and accountability for the victims of the Genocide against the Tutsi.

Together with her husband, Alain Gauthier, she tirelessly worked to track those accused of genocide who had fled to France and to ensure that survivors and victims were not forgotten.

Her courage, determination and commitment to justice will remain part of Rwanda’s enduring memory.

May she rest in eternal peace.

Imana imuhe iruhuko ridashira.
