context_page_description: The Liberation Day is a public holiday in Rwanda which is celebrated on 4 July. It commemorates the defeat of the previous Habyarimana regime and the Rwandan Armed Forces by the Rwandan Patriotic Front in the Rwandan Civil War, thus ending the Rwandan genocide. On 4 July 1994, the RPF secured the capital of Kigali while the end of the war became official on 15 July with the signing of the Arusha Accords. Liberation Day takes place a week after Independence Day, although it is more of a celebration rather than the national mourning period for the Rwandan Revolution on Independence Day.
