Today
we remember and honor the lives lost and families destroyed on that
tragic day 18 years ago in Rwanda. The United States stands in
solidarity with the Rwandan people, and we admire their resilience and
the enormous strides they have made in recovering from that unspeakable
event. We will never forget those deplorable days. And we are committed
to working with the government and people of Rwanda to complete their
recovery and move forward toward a future of reconciliation, economic
growth, peace, and better lives.
