KIGALI, Rwanda - Rwandans on Sunday started commemorating the 25th anniversary of the 1994 genocide that left more than 1 million people dead, with President Paul Kagame calling for continued efforts to transform the country.

"Rwanda's young people have everything needed to transform our country," Kagame said. "They have the responsibility to take charge more and more, and participate fully in securing the Rwanda we want and deserve."

Three-quarters of Rwandans are under 30, and almost 60 percent of Rwandan people were born after the genocide, Kagame said.
