Rwanda, Myanmar, Tunisia.

Today's three stories you should know.

Rwanda

Rwanda has started a week of mourning to mark the 30th anniversary of its 1994 genocide - one of the most shameful episodes in human history. More than one million ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus were systematically massacred over a period of 100 days by Hutu extremists, led by the Rwandan army and a militia known as the Interahamwe. "Genocide is populism in its pure form, because the causes are political the remedies must be as well. For that reason our politics are not organised on the basis of ethnicity or religion and never will be again," Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame said at a ceremony in the capital Kigali today.
