Rwanda In Kenya

The Committee of the Rwandan Community in Kenya and the High Commission of Rwanda to Kenya have jointly organized a football tournament bringing together 11 Rwandan teams from different parts of Kenya, including Nairobi, Kisumu, Nyeri, and Mombasa.

Rwanda Community in Kenya Imena Cup 2026 will run from May to October, with finals scheduled for 17th October in Nairobi.

Beyond talent promotion, the competition seeks to strengthen unity and social cohesion among Rwandans living in Kenya.

Today, the High Commission of Rwanda to Kenya in collaboration with the PLO Lumumba Foundation , the Pan African Institute, Lukenya University , and the University of Nairobi (UoN) hosted a symposium on genocide prevention at The UoN.

The symposium brought together more than 400 participants, including members of the diplomatic corps and representatives of international organizations, members of the academia, researchers, students from various universities, and members of the Rwandan community.

It featured a panel discussion that underscored the importance of historical memory, justice, and global solidarity in the prevention of genocide and other atrocities.

In his remarks, High Commissioner Ernest Rwamucyo said that genocide denial and revisionism are not merely distortions of historical truth, but dangerous tools that can enable future violence.

He added that when facts are manipulated or erased, when perpetrators are shielded and victims are forgotten, the foundations are laid for repetition.

While delivering the statement of the Secretary General of the United Nations, Zainab Hawa Bangura, Director General United Nations Office in Nairobi, noted that the UN pays tribute to the survivors, whose resilience shows the strength of the human spirit, acknowledging the international community’s failure to heed warnings and take immediate lifesaving action.

She also called on all countries to become parties to the Genocide Convention without delay and to implement it fully.
