He was killed during the Rwandan genocide in 1994 with a knife to his eyes and head. Francine Murengezi Ingabire, 12, who loved eggs and chips, was stabbed to death. As the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall toured the children’s room at the Kigali Genocide Memorial in Rwanda, they could not help but be moved. Stopping to look at the smiling young people looking out of the window of the monument, they read about the children’s favorite things, typical childhood activities such as playing with their fathers and dreams of becoming doctors, before the horrific reality of their death in the hands of the nationals Hutus is described in detail below. “Terrible,” said the Prince, while his wife added, “What people can do to people.” For the Prince, who is particularly interested in genocide and reconciliation, the visit was an opportunity to “hear and learn”. He later called on the world to learn from the atrocity, warning that it should never happen again. He hopes to use the experience to “bring together people with similar problems,” said one aide. The Duchess, meanwhile, hugged survivor Uzamukunda Walida, who was gang-raped during the genocide.
