World is not learning lessons of the past, warns Rwandan President
At the 11th World Governments Summit in Dubai, H.E President Paul Kagame expressed concern over the world's failure to learn from past tragedies, such as the genocide against the Tutsi. He emphasized the need for nations to build capacity to prevent such disasters and criticized the lack of progress in learning from history.
“I don’t know what is new that I would call on the world to do more, that we didn’t call on the world to do at the time the Genocide was happening. That is a very significant signal that the world is not learning much from what is happening, or what has happened in the past, to be able to prevent such a situation from occurring. For those of us who have experienced these situations and circumstances, we have learnt our lesson: countries need to build their own capacities.” H.E President Paul Kagame said.
