At genocide memorial, deeply moved Prince Charles starts controversial Rwanda visit | latikambourke
Prince Charles has said the world must ensure a genocide like Rwanda’s is not repeated, following a visit to the country’s memorial in Kigali, ahead of the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting beginning on Friday.The memorial contains photographs and personal items of some of the hundreds of thousands of Tutsis killed in the slaughter carried out by Hutu extremists.
Charles’ first visit to Rwanda comes a week after he was reported to have described the UK’s proposed migrant deportation deal with the African nation, based on Australia’s offshoring solution, as “appalling”.
Charles will meet his prime minister, Boris Johnson, who is in Kigali for CHOGUM, for what Clarence House said would be a “cup of tea and a catch up” on Friday morning, their first since Charles’ comments criticising the one-way asylum seeker plan.
