The First lady of Gabon, Sylvia Bongo Ondimba has said that Genocide against ethnic Tutsi in 1994 would have been prevented before it occured.

Mrs. Bongo Ondimba made the remarks while at the Gisozi genocide memorial site in Kigali city.

The Gabon First lady was given an explanation detailing how the genocide was prepared and executed.

She was overwhelmed by the weapons and tools used to kill and shocked by the manner in which children and women were abused during the dark days.

Three people were critically injured in an accident involving a motorcycle (RC279 D) taxi and a passenger bus (RAB 580 H ).

The incident occured in the night of October 5, along the road near Nyarugenge prison towards Nyamirambo suburb.

The injured were quickly rushed to CHK hospital for immidiate medical attention.

First Lady, Jeanette Kagame, has officially opened the new public library, Rwanda Library Services.

She said it was one of the many libraries which will be built in the country as part of efforts to cultivate a reading culture among Rwandans.

“This library is much more than a building filled with shelves of books; it’s a gateway and window to the world.”

Mrs.Kagame added, “On the pages of the countless books are opportunities for our youth to create a limitless universe, one where they satisfy their curiosity and feed their imagination while developing personal values.”

The Inspector General of Police, Emmanuel K. Gasana has appealed to female police officers who are set to go on mission to continue to raise Rwanda’s flag high by providing quality services during their foreign mission.

“Cooperate with others, provide quality services and Agaciro (dignity) as we bring peace to the rest of the world,” the IGP said.

IGP Gasana made the call Friday during a pre-deployment briefing of 100 female police officers at the Rwanda National Police (RNP) General Headquarters in Kacyiru, who are set to be deployed in Sudan under the United Nations Mission in Darfur (UNAMID).

The female officers will be replacing the same number which returned home late last month after 23 months of service in Darfur. The contingent will be headed by Inspector of Police, Agnes Mutumwinka.

Earlier this week, media reported that President Ali Bongo will visit Rwanda from Friday to Saturday to study at first hand its experience with bilingualism.

Gabon is considering switching to the use of English language following Rwanda’s success.

Bongo’s visit takes place a week before the Francophonie summit in Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo on October 12, which French President Francois Hollande will attend.

Gabon’s President Ali Bongo wants to boost the use of English in his country, a former colony of France where French is widely spoken.

Earlier this week Gabon spokesperson Alain-Claude Bilie-By-Nzesai told media that “Gabon wants to look closely at Rwanda’s experience with the introduction of bilingualism.”

The vast majority of Gabon’s 1.5 million people speak French.
