However, in our days the genocide was applied in Cambodia, several African countries and in the most brutal forms in Rwanda.A large public lecture was delivered by the Ambassador of the Republic of Rwanda in Russia Dr. Jane d’Arc Mujawamaria.

The meeting was also addressed by the Ambassador of Kenya in Russia Paul K.Kurgat, the Ambassador of Sudan Omer Mohamed, the First Deputy Editor-in-Chief of “Asia and Africa today” journal O.I.
