Every year on April 7, Rwanda enters a 100-day commemoration period of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi where about a million men, women and children were killed in three months.

Commonly known as Kwibuka, or remembrance, the period has always been marked by public gatherings until the Covid-19 pandemic hit two years ago and pushed events online.
