Rwanda is gearing up to mark the 30th anniversary of the genocide against its minority Tutsi population, a dark chapter in the nation's history that claimed the lives of an estimated 800,000 people. As the country of 14 million people continues to unearth new mass graves, the world will converge in Kigali for solemn commemorations on Sunday.
Notable figures expected to attend include former U.S. President Bill Clinton and Israeli President Isaac Herzog. French President Emmanuel Macron, in a pre-recorded message, acknowledged his country's failure to prevent the genocide, highlighting the overwhelming responsibility France bore during the tragic events of 1994.
