“For decades, Rwanda was shaped by a deliberate system of exclusion, fear, and division. The purpose of the liberation struggle was to restore what had been taken away: the right of Rwandans to live in dignity.
However, the ideas behind the genocide have not disappeared completely. They persist in different forms, and remain present across our region. We have seen, and suffered too much to ever take this threat lightly.
Security and good governance are the foundation of everything we have built. Security is a matter of survival, not external approval. Without it, nothing else holds together. That is why we remain vigilant and firm.
What happened here will never happen again, for one simple reason: we will not allow it.”President Kagame | #Kwibohora32
On International Day of Women in Diplomacy, we celebrate the women advancing Rwanda's engagement with the world.
From experienced diplomats sharing what diplomacy means to them and their advice to future generations, to young diplomats reflecting on why they chose this path, their voices inspire, lead, and shape the future of international relations.
“These testimonies keep memory alive for all of us and for those who will follow us.
Kwibuka carries a profound meaning for our nation. It is how we confront and overcome the divisions that nearly destroyed us.” - President #Kagame#Kwibuka32

🎥 “Rwanda rebuilt itself from the ashes of genocide through truth, justice, and homegrown solutions such as Ndi Umunyarwanda. This philosophy did not arise by accident; it was a deliberate choice to reject the divisive politics that once destroyed our nation.”

Ndashima Imana ko ubu imyaka 30 yuzuye numviye ijwi ry'Uwiteka.
Uku kwezi iteka kunyibutsa urugendo rwanjye rw’ubumisiyoneri n’ivugabutumwa.
Umunsi w’itariki ya mbere z’Ukwakira 1995, ubworo bw’ikirenge cyanjye bwakandagiye mu gihugu cy’Imisozi Igihumbi. Ndi jyenyine, ndi umwe gusa, nta muntu runaka nari nzi mu gihugu, gusa ari ukumvira umuhamagaro w’Imana.
Umutima wanjye wuzura amashimwe, kuko uhereye mu itangiriro rito cyane ngeze mu Rwanda, nkabona uko umurimo wagutse, ukagera ku isi hose: muri Afurika, Uburayi, Aziya, Oseyaniya, ndetse na Amerika, nongera gusubiza Imana icyubahiro cyayo.
Imana yambashishije kujyana ubutumwa bwayo kuva mu Rwanda kugera ku isi yose, ni iyo kwizerwa.
Mfashe umwanya nshimira abashumba, abavugabutumwa, abepisikopi, abahanuzi babanye nanjye, ndetse nawe watugaragarije urukundo, wadufashije mu buryo ubwo ari bwo bwose ndagushimiye, Uwiteka azakwibuke.
Ndashimira n'abashumba bumviye umuhamagaro wanjye bakaza tugafatanya kubaka Itorero rya Kristo, Imana ibahe umugisha.
Njyewe n'umuryango wanjye turabashimiye cyane.
Uwiteka utibagirwa abagirire Neza

I thank God that it has now been 30 years since I obeyed the voice of the Lord.
This month always brings back memories of my journey in missionary and preaching the Gospel.
On October 1st, 1995, the sole of my foot stepped into the Land of a Thousand Hills. I was alone, knowing no one in the country. I had come only in obedience to God’s calling.
My heart overflows with gratitude. From that humble beginning when I arrived in Rwanda, I have witnessed the growth of the ministry as it expanded across the world throughout Africa, Europe, Asia, Oceania, and in the America. I give all the glory back to God.
God empowered me to carry His message from Rwanda to the nations. He is so Faithful.
I take this moment to thank the pastors, evangelists, bishops, and prophets who have walked alongside me and you as well, who showed us love and supported us in every way. I thank you, and may the Lord bless you.
I also thank the pastors who accepted my calling and came to partner with me in building the Church of Christ. May God bless you abundantly.
I & my family extend our heartfelt thanks.
May the Lord who never forgets show you His goodness.
President Kagame alongside His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco and David Lappartient, @UCI_cycling President, attended the Men Elite Road Race, the final race of the 2025 UCI Road World Championships. #Kigali2025 was the first UCI World Championship to be held in Africa, with the city’s hilly terrain presenting riders with the most challenging edition yet of the road race, tackling over 5,400 metres of elevation over 267.5km.
Byabaye impamo!
Abanyarwanda bakomeje kwizihirwa, bishimiye kwandika amateka mu mukino wo gusiganwa ku magare!
Ibi byishimo wabinganya iki koko?

President Kagame on sports shaping countries’ economies in the future: It's not just the future. When you talk about, for example, the arena, the stadium, it's already happening. People are taking notice of that and counting and knowing that it has employed so many, it has brought in so much. And that interaction around people here and beyond, with the rest of the world, speaks volumes in terms of value. So it has already brought in a lot. And it's a question of growing that. And we also know that statistics show that even across Africa, in terms of sports, it's running into billions as to what sports can bring to the continent, tens of billions. I think what we do as leaders at different levels is to encourage people to be part of realizing that story and reaping the benefits. And it's happening. So it's no longer something you just listen to and think it is for others and not for you. Now people believe, they start by believing. And when they start by believing and see things happening, then they believe even more and get more involved. And, I mean, the sky is the limit.
Today, Minister @onduhungirehe hosted the second diplomatic briefing of 2025 to update envoys on bilateral and multilateral engagements as well as developments in the Great Lakes region.
