The work on memory in Rwanda gained momentum in the first decade of the 21st century with the change of the political regime. In 2001, a new anthem and a new flag were created, and in 2003 a new Constitution was adopted that makes reference to the genocide against the Tutsis. In this period, laws that punish genocide denial and that define the conditions to manage commemorative monuments were enacted. In 2008, the policy of memory on genocide was officially adopted. With the intention on behalf of the government to internationalize the memory of genocide, in 2012, Bisesero and other three sites were proposed to become part of the UNESCO World Heritage: Gisozi (City of Kigali), Murambi (Province of the South) and Nyamata (Province of the East). These places, considered as national monuments in Rwanda, are mostly administered by the National Commission for the Fight against Genocide.

In the fourth commemoration of the genocide, in April 1998, the Rwandan President laid the first stone of the monument of Bisesero. The site is located in front of the Muyira hill, where the resistance was organized. The architectural complex is organized around a stone path, which allows visitors to gradually climb to the top of the hill by passing under a large arch, originally white and purple (the color of mourning). On the right, a pile of stones holds nine spears, representing resistance. The path that begins to shrink, symbol of the resistance that was defeated, connects three buildings with bone remains, representing the three hills from where refugees came, which, at the same time, have nine rooms, emblems of the nine communities of the Kibuye prefecture. At the top are the graves where most of the victims were buried.
