The Chairman of the Aga Khan Group of Companies, Amyn Aga Khan, visited Kigali Genocide memorial on Wednesday to commemorate Genocide victims buried at the site.
The memorial is home to about 250,000 victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.
Prince Amyn Aga Khan, who was in the country on a two-day private visit, took time to join the staff of Kigali Serena Hotel to pay respect to Genocide victims. According to Denise Omany, the country sales and marketing manager at Serena.
“Amyn Aga Khan arrived in the country on Tuesday evening for a two day private site visit to a few of his company’s investments in Rwanda, and he was scheduled to leave the country yesterday evening”.
The Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development runs Kigali Serena Hotel and Kivu Serena Hotel, plus Nation Media-Rwanda, which oversees KFM and The East African.
Shortly after the genocide memorial tour, Prince Amyn, called for an end to genocide atrocities around the world.
“These events must never be repeated anywhere else again,” Amyn Aga Khan wrote in the visitors’ book at Kigali Genocide memorial.
Mahmoud Jan Muhammad, The Managing Director of the Serena Group of Hotels in Africa told journalists that Prince Amyn Aga Khan was in Rwanda on an entirely private business trip which coincided with the commemoration week.
