"When we were living as refugees, we went to many places telling the international community that Rwanda was our home and that we wanted to return. Some people would come and raise the matter with the government that was in power here. The response they received was that Rwanda was too small and that there was no place for us to go. Imagine being told there is no place for you in the very country you came from. You cannot tell someone to remain where they are, to spend their entire life as a refugee, and for their children to grow up as refugees as well.
I used to tell people, even at the beginning of our liberation struggle, that whatever treatment we received in the countries where we lived, they were not the people I had a grievance against. After all, it was my own country that had denied me the right to return because it claimed there was no room for me. The people I had a grievance against were those who had the responsibility to guarantee my rights in my own country, but instead denied them. Those were the people we had to confront. And that is exactly what happened." President Kagame | Indangamirwa 16th Cohort #MeetThePresident

“There is one sure way of making a difference. Keep trying, even when you fail, try again. Be stubborn about trying.
Don't go away, even if some people would wish you to go away, just refuse. You stay and say, I am not going anywhere. I will just try until I get it right.” President Kagame, Chairman of the RPF, closing remarks at the RPF Extended Bureau Politique meeting that brought together over 2,000 participants to discuss ways to sustain the party’s vision over the next 30 years.
