“The memorial before us is powerful, because it sets the truth in stone and protects it from the heartlessness of time, by instructing the living. It is not a validation, because none is needed. But it will stand as a mark of respect for the dignity of Rwandans and our history.” President Kagame | Inauguration of Monument in Paris honouring the victims of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi.
President Kagame and First Lady Jeannette Kagame joined thousands of fans as RSSB Tigers defeated Petro de Luanda 90–88 to become BAL Season 6 champions, the first Rwandan team to lift the trophy.
During their visit to Rwanda, Maxime SAADA, CEO of CANAL+ and David MIGNOT, CEO of CANAL+ Africa and CEO of MultiChoice, paid tribute at the Kigali Genocide Memorial in Gisozi a place of memory, pain, dignity, and resilience.
“We sunk to the lowest point a human being or a country has sunk to. To the point that the only place we had to go was now up. So we have been going up and we don’t want to stop. I am sure the great people in this room want to go up, so let’s go up together.” President Kagame | BAL Investor Summit

“Sports, necessarily unifies people. In Rwanda’s case, we have seen a lot of benefits. We can see how it has increased numbers in tourism, people who want to come to Rwanda, people come for conferences, they come for events like this. It comes to choices you make, it comes to mindset as well.
When countries come together, when leagues come together, when people come together, the benefits are multiplied by a much bigger factor. You don’t want to have such a good thing isolated in one region or one country. The more people that work together, that come together, it forms a much bigger market that makes sense of everything you are doing.” President Kagame speaking on the transformative power of sports investment during @theBAL Investors Summit
