UN-Habitat Executive Director Dr. Joan Clos and the Deputy Executive Director Dr. Aisa Kirabo lay a wreath of flowers to mark the 20th anniversary of the Rwanda Genocide in Medellin on Monday. The day marks the anniversary of the genocide in Rwanda when up to a million people lost their lives, approximately 20 per cent of Rwanda’s population. Here, Dr. Kirabo, herself a Rwandese citizen, pays her respects after laying the wreath.
