NDI UMUNYARWANDA

Everyone should remember this and ask themselves how they would respond, were they asked such a question,
The big lesson from them, Kanamugire Fidele noted, is that we should always be ready to defend our unity at any cost. For our country to revive, it required bitter but fruitful choices whereby Nyange incident is a case study.

328 students and 19 teachers.
