Born in 1934, Félicité Niyitegeka was the daughter of Simon Sekabwa and Angelina Nyirampabuka. She was killed on April 21, 1994 during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. Niyitegeka is remembered for refusing to part ways with the people who found refuge at Centre Saint Pierre in Gisenyi (currently Rubavu District). She was just a casual worker at the centre when her brother – an army officer – asked her to abandon the Tutsis since the military was aware of her activities, but she declined. When the Interahamwe militias came to her house, she already had over 30 Tutsi refugees in her house. The Interahamwe informed her that she would be spared but her charges would have to be killed, but opted to die alongside them. 🍿WATCH NEXT: AKAMARO K'IGENABIKORWA N'INGENGABIHE NI AKAHE? :    • ISHURI Podcast #007 : AKAMARO K'IGENA...   KWIGIRA [FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE] NI IKI? :    • ISHURI Podcast #005 : KWIGIRA [FINANC...   ESE UKWIRIYE GUTANGIRA UMUCO WO GUSOMA? :    • ISHURI Podcast #003 : ESE UKWIRIYE GU...   ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ SOCIAL MEDIA Feel free to follow us at the links below: Facebook:   / ishuri.org   Twitter:   / ishuriorg   Instagram:   / ishuriorg   LinkedIn:   / ishuri
