Participants at YouthConnekt Hangout

As Rwanda is getting ready to celebrate National Heroes’ Day on 01^st February 2016, youths say they are committed to strive for heroism and build a better future of Rwanda. Speaking at YouthConnekt Hangout session which took place Thursday evening under the theme “Strive for Heroism: Build a better future”, Itete Teta Florence, one of Heroism Club leaders in University of Kigali revealed that they started preaching among themselves and fellows to embrace heroism culture. “First of all, we visited Heroes’ Mausoleum to know the history and started preaching among our members and nonmembers youths to strive for heroism. We plan to reach more youth to ensure heroism culture is known,” said Itete. It was on the night of March 18, 1997 when the killers, leftovers of the Interahamwe and ex-FAR from DR Congo (Ex-Zaire), attacked Nyange Secondary school located in Ngororero District (former Kivumu District) and asked students to separate themselves along ethnic lines.

After refusing to do so saying that they were all Rwandans, killers threw grenades and shot at them, the result is that six of them lost lives that time. After giving testimony of the incident, Phanuel Sindayiheba, the leader of Komezubutwari Association made up of survivors who are now National Heroes falling under Imena Category, urged youth to learn from national heroes and replicate the heroism culture among others. Speaking at the YouthConnekt Hangout, Jean Philbert Nsengimana, Minister of Youth and ICT challenged youth to be heroes, determined in their daily activities towards their development and Rwanda’s development as well in order to build the better future.
