Friends of the Congo student coordinator Kambale Musavuli leads chants at a Carnegie Mellon University protest against the visit of Rwandan President Paul Kagame. Protesters say Kagame is responsible for the death, rape and financial instability of millions of Rwandans and Congolese.
Musavuli is a 2008 Congolese refugee, and said his family was affected by the violence in the region.
"Whenever there's a genocide, just like the holocaust, we must say, 'never again,'" Musavuli said. "It's my responsibility to be here and to speak up for those who can't. It's the value of free speech."
