Kwibuka: 

To remembering our fellows Mulenge

Today marks twenty years since the tragic Gatumba massacre on August 13, 2004, where 166 innocent Banyamulenge women, men, and children lost their lives while seeking refuge in Burundi. As we remember the 13 lives lost from Gatumba this year, Mulenge FC stands with the Banyamulenge community in honoring their memory. Our loved ones should still be with us today. We will continue to say their names and seek justice in their honor. May they rest in peace.


Honoring the Memory of Gatumba Victims: Mulenge FC's Commitment to Justice and Remembrance.

Today, August 13, 2024, marks the twentieth anniversary of the Gatumba massacre, a day etched in the collective memory of the Banyamulenge community. On this day in 2004, 166 innocent men, women, and children were brutally murdered in a refugee camp in Gatumba, Burundi. These victims were members of the Banyamulenge community, a minority group with roots in the Democratic Republic of Congo, who were seeking safety from the ongoing conflicts in the region. Instead of finding refuge, they met with unimaginable horror. 

The Gatumba massacre is not just a tragic event in history but a stark reminder of the vulnerability faced by the Banyamulenge people. Each year, on this day, our community gathers to remember those who lost their lives and to honor their memory. It is a time of deep reflection, mourning, and a renewed commitment to seek justice for the atrocities committed. 

As members of Mulenge FC, a team that draws its name and spirit from the Banyamulenge community, we stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters. Our team is more than just a football club; it is a symbol of our resilience, unity, and the unbreakable bond we share with our people. The victims of Gatumba are not forgotten, and their memory lives on in our hearts and actions. 

We want to use this platform to remind the world of the injustice that occurred and to reaffirm our commitment to keeping their memory alive. Our loved ones who were taken from us too soon deserve to still be here today, living their lives, chasing their dreams, and sharing in the joys of our community. We will continue to say their names, tell their stories, and demand justice until the world acknowledges the pain that was inflicted upon them and holds those responsible accountable. 

As we remember the Gatumba massacre on this somber anniversary, Mulenge FC wishes peace to the souls of those who perished. May they rest in eternal peace, and may their memory inspire us all to work towards a world where such atrocities are never repeated. Let us stand together in unity, honoring the past while striving for a future where justice prevails.

Our Team Story

In April 2, 2024, a new chapter in the soccer scene of Cedar Rapids, Iowa was written with the inception of Mulenge FC. At the helm of this exciting venture was King Kiruhura, affectionately known as King Umtiti, whose vision and passion paved the way for the creation of this dynamic team.
Recognizing the abundance of talented Mulenge individuals in Cedar Rapids, King Umtiti saw an opportunity to harness their skills and passion for the game. With a desire to provide a platform for these players to showcase their talents and a lack of organized soccer teams representing their community, King Umtiti embarked on a mission to establish Mulenge FC.
Gathering ideas and support from like-minded individuals, including the innovative Clever, King Umtiti worked tirelessly to bring his vision to life. Their collective efforts culminated in the formation of Mulenge FC, a team rooted in cultural pride, camaraderie, and a shared love for the beautiful game.
Since its inception, Mulenge FC has grown from strength to strength, becoming one of the premier soccer teams in the Cedar Rapids area. With a roster brimming with talent and a supportive community behind them, Mulenge FC continues to make waves on the pitch, inspiring players and fans alike.
