Belgian Peacekeepers Memorial

Small but well designed museum. No entry fee. Photos allowed. Gives good overview of the events in 1994.

A deep and meaningful memorial to the Belgian peacekeepers who were killed. Well kept, well maintained part of history that should not be forgotten. Clean environment, friendly and polite attendant.

A memorial for the Belgian UN peacekeepers who died protecting the civilian government leaders during the outbreak of the 1994 Rwandan genocide.

Walking distance from Kigali Marriott Hotel and very safe to visit. As a Belgian I was deeply touched by reading all the information displayed on the wall about the brutal murder of the 10 courageous soldiers. Admission is free - donation to the knowledgeable guide is welcomed. It is a wonderful memorial and worth spending 30’ of your time here. Let’s not forget!

Its for free. So definitely you need to pass by to this historical place. Amazing and at the same time sad. Not to far from the main Kigali sign in the city center. Walking distance. Super safe here. And super clean. So no worries walking around.

A place that resonates strongly with the unfortunate fate of the 10 Belgian soldiers who lost their lives on the first day of the genocide in 1994. The outside has been kept the way it was since 1994, with bulletholes all over the walls. Inside, you can read a detailed recount of the events that led to the killing of the 10 soldiers. The place is kept in a very good condition and the only guide on site is very helpful. No ticket is necessary, but donation seems to be the right thing to do.

This historical place is tranquil, well-kept and worth visiting while in Kigali. It's located closer to the city centre. Information on what happened to the commandos is well-documented on the walls. The staff was welcoming and supportive. It is free to visit here, they accept donations for maintenance of the area.

Always painful step into the past and the terrible ending for the peacekeeping soldiers that came to support the country but were left on their own by the political decision makers in that period...
