🚨Javier Hernández speaks on the comparison between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo🦸‍♂️🦇: You don’t have to belittle one to recognize the greatness of the other.

🗣: That’s why I always say Messi is Superman and Cristiano is Batman. Superman was born with powers, but Batman was not. Batman builds himself with discipline and courage to become extraordinary.

I think that’s the real discussion—not who is better, but which story inspires you more. Both are to be admired.

Both inspire greatly: the one born with a gift or the one who proves you can change your destiny?

In the end, we admire Messi for what he is—a being from another planet—but many of us admire Cristiano Ronaldo because he is a monster of will who forces us to look in the mirror and feel capable of breaking any limit.

Rwanda at night, 2013 → 2025. Over the same period, electricity access grew from ~19% to 82%.
I built this map using real NOAA VIIRS satellite data, retrieved via Google Earth Engine, and animated it in Python.
i am fascinated by this kind of data visualization and what it means for the future of impact reporting.

“Africa’s nuclear future in the 21st Century will not look like the nuclear industry of the 20th Century. Small Modular Reactors and Micro Modular Reactors are game-changers. This technology offers greater modularity, enhanced safety, shorter construction timelines and better adaptation to our electrical infrastructure.” @SinaZerbo, chairperson of @RAEB_Rwanda speaking at the Nuclear Energy Innovation Summit for Africa. #NEISA2026

President Kagame:

“Rwanda is strong and strong enough in our own circumstances, precisely because we consider ourselves vulnerable to ideologies of violence, of violent ethnic extremism, particularly when they benefit from direct or indirect state support. 

We have made a promise to ourselves to never go back to the dark days, that darkness. We can't go back, and that is not something we will waver from.”

“Felicien Kabuga escaped judgment not through innocence but through sheer time, bought by powerful networks that helped him evade capture. A trial would not merely have judged Kabuga. It would have exposed the governments and people who enabled him, shielded him, moved him across borders, and benefited from his silence.” By Alice Wairimu Nderitu https://t.co/32ZEyGPHEk

I definitely saw this in the last few days I spent in Kigali.

Trust = Consistency x Time

Consistency in execution
Consistency in proactiveness
Consistency in messaging
Consistency in competence

What's particularly interesting in Rwanda is that this consistency comes with a positive "sense of urgency".

Folks are looking to remove barriers and genuinely make things work with a fire I haven't yet seen in many jurisdictions.

Needless to say, I leave Rwanda hopeful.

The slavery apologists said: but we fed them. Housed them. Gave them religion. Brought them from savagery into contact with civilization.

The colonial apologists said: but we built railways. Hospitals. Legal systems. Brought order to chaos. Raised the standard of living. Gave them modernity.

The contemporary apologists say: but we give aid. Promote democracy. Protect human rights. Stabilize fragile states. The world would be more violent without our presence.

The structure is identical across five hundred years.

The framing is always:

We gave. We brought. We raised. We provided.

The passive voice is always assigned to the other person.

They received. They were brought. They were raised. They were provided for.

Never:

They had. They built. They governed. They decided.

They were capable, before and without you, of existing as full human beings with the right to determine their own conditions.

That sentence.

That is the sentence that colonial ideology, in all its iterations, cannot say.

Because once you say it, once you actually believe it, not as a liberal sentiment but as a foundational reality, the entire justification structure collapses.

And all that's left is what it always was.

Taking.

Just taking.

From people who had every right to what you took.

@magattew Truth! Nobody wants a nicer version of being poor. We need equity not aid, prosperity not programs. Hustlers want to flourish, not be managed in poverty.

April 20, 2026, is a specific day of remembrance for the last queen of Rwanda Rosalie Gicanda, of blessed memory, assassinated in Butare during the genocide perpetrated against the Tutsi.

The date commemorates her and recalls the particularly horrific three days from April 20 to 23, 1994, which were the deadliest during the genocide. On April 21, 1994 alone, more than 250,000 Tutsi were killed in various locations, including Kinazi, the city of Butare, Karama, Cyanika, Murambi, and Kaduha, to name just a few. Starting on April 18, 1994, the expansion of the genocide into prefectures in the south and west of the country was a deliberate strategy of the genocidal government to eliminate ongoing resistance in Gitarama, Butare, Gikongoro, and Kibuye.

Cyangugu was among the prefectures which quickly started the genocide on April 7, 1994 in Kamembe, Mururu, Kibogora, Nyamasheke, Mwezi, Hanika, Gihundwe, Bugarama, Mushaka, Nyabitimbo, Nkanka, Shagasha, Gisakura, Bushenge, Ntendezi, etc. Almost all of the Tutsi were exterminated from April 7 to 12 1994, with the exception of very rare sites of Mibilizi and Nyarushishi.

Strategy used:

Starting on April 18, 1994, a vast mobilization of the genocidal government led by Dr. Théodore Sindikubwabo and Prime Minister Jean Kambanda took place. They traveled to Butare and Gikongoro to issue a general call for genocide. President Sindikubwabo dismissed the prefect of Butare, Dr. Jean Baptiste Habyarimana, on April 19, 1994, who was doing his best to prevent the genocide. He then installed the Hutu extremist Sylvain Nsabimana, who actively oversaw the widespread and systematic killing of Tutsis. President Sindikubwabo dispatched his close associates from Butare to support Prefect Nsabimana. These included the Minister of Family Affairs, Pauline Nyiramasuhuko; the Chief of Staff at the Ministry of the Interior, Callixte Kalimanzira; the Minister of Agriculture, Straton Nsabumukunzi; Members of Parliament Laurent Baravuga and Bernadette Mukarurangwa; and other prominent figures involved in the genocide. This clique of criminal politicians mobilized all the mayors, who answered the call to genocide, with the exception of the courageous Jean Marie Vianney Gisagara of Nyabisindu and Narcisse Nyagasaza of Ntyazo, who were punished with immediate and atrocious public executions. Also playing a leading role were sub-prefects Dominique Ntawukuriryayo (Gisagara), Assiel Simbalikure (Busoro) and Gaëtan Kayitana (Nyabisindu).

Military officers and gendarmes, including Colonel Alphonse Nteziryayo, Lieutenant Colonel Tharcisse Muvunyi and Captain Ildephonse Nizeyimana, both in charge of the Non-Commissioned Officers' School, Lieutenant Ildephonse Hategekimana, commander of Camp Ngoma, Majors Alfred Rusigariye and Cyriaque Habyarabatuma of the Butare Gendarmerie Brigade, and Captain François Xavier Bilikunzira of the Nyanza Territorial Brigade, assisted the genocidal politicians in the extermination of the Tutsi in Butare. Kambanda, Nyiramasuhuko, Kalimanzira, Nsabimana, Nizeyimana, Muvunyi, Nteziryayo and Hategekimana were tried and found guilty of genocide by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. Habyarabatuma was found guilty of genocide by the Rwandan justice system. Bilikunzira and Rusigariye are fugitives.

The prefecture of Gitarama was entrusted to the sinister Callixte Nzabonimana, Minister of Youth, supported by Major Jean Damascène Ukurikiyeyezu, both from the same prefecture. Shingiro Mbonyumutwa, Chief of Staff to Prime Minister Kambanda, set up a checkpoint for sorting and massacres in front of his house in Gitarama. Shingiro Mbonyumutwa, a prominent member of the MDR Power party, also relentlessly waged a media campaign inciting genocide, using extremist media outlets including Radio Rwanda, which had ceased to be a public radio station serving the public interest and had clearly chosen the side of genocide. The Hutu prefect, Fidèle Uwizeye, who had been maintaining peace, was in turn dismissed but was fortunate enough to escape death. For the accomplishment of the genocide, Fidèle Uwizeye will be replaced by the Major Jean Damascène Ukulikiyeyezu who excelled in the extermination of the Tutsi.

The prefecture of Kibuye will also receive special attention from this genocidal government. Four ministers from the region will be dispatched to assist the sinister prefect, Dr. Clément Kayishema. These are Edouard Karemera, Minister of the Interior; Agnès Ntamabyaliro, Minister of Justice; Emmanuel Ndindabahizi, Minister of Finance; and Eliézer Niyitegeka, Minister of Information. Karemera, Ndindabahizi, Kayishema, and Niyitegeka were all sentenced to life imprisonment by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and all died in prison while serving their sentences. Ntamabyaliro was tried and sentenced to the same term by Rwandan courts. This band of murderers is at the head of the genocide in their home prefecture, particularly in Bisesero, Mugonero, and Stade Gatwaro. Nyamishaba, Hôme Saint Jean, Crête Congo Nil, Birambo, Mubuga, and others.

The Gikongoro prefecture will suffer the same fate, with Colonel Aloys Simba being dispatched to support Prefect Laurent Bucyibaruta and Gendarmerie Captain Faustin Sebuhura. Bucyibaruta and Simba are natives of this prefecture. Sebuhura is from Ruhengeri. This trio, surrounded by other extremists including sub-prefects Joseph Ntegeyintwali of Karaba, Damien Biniga of Munini, and Joachim Hategekimana of Kaduha, as well as heads of departments in prefectural institutions such as Justin Ayurugari, director of Electrogaz (the public electricity and gas company), Celse Semigabo, the public prosecutor, Venuste Nyombayire, director of the NGO SOS, and directors of tea factories including Denis Kamodoka of Kitabi, Juvénal Ndabarinze of Mata, Célestin Mutabaruka of the Crête Zaïre Nil Agricultural Project, and others, formed a formidable group for organizing and perpetrating the genocide in Gikongoro. Simba was convicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. Bucyibaruta by the French courts. Ntegeyintwali and Hategekimana by the Rwandan courts. The others are fugitives.

In short, the genocide committed against the Tutsi was a state crime, planned by the Habyarimana regime and meticulously executed by his successor, Dr. Théodore Sindikubwabo, his government, his army, and his militias. The genocide was stopped only by the Rwandan Patriotic Front.
Never again.
Plus jamais ça.
Ntibizongera. Harabaye ntihakabe.
