I remember moderating the first ever #ChildrenSummit in 2004. The platform served as a stepping stone to greater heights. Dear children, the time to dream is now, and now is the time to take those baby steps towards realizing your dream. @RwandaGender @Rwanda_Child #EjoNiNjye

"Genocost is a politically constructed conspiracy theory masquerading as historical and legal truth. The term is being promoted by the DRC government and amplified by activists despite lacking recognition as an established historical or legal concept."

Hi Cameron, Rwanda is the wrong example to use to defend the ICC. We have consistently opposed the ICC as a selective, unaccountable institution which has been used to target Africans disproportionately. Post-genocide Rwanda established Gacaca, a home-grown system of justice and reconciliation, which completed nearly two million cases in ten years, at modest cost, while establishing truth, accountability and a basis for communities to live together again.

Gacaca was pivotal to Rwanda’s recovery, progress and stability. A distant, biased court such as the ICC could never have delivered justice and reconciliation on that scale—not in our lifetime.

Great opportunity to learn from China’s experience in advancing digital rule of law, while also sharing Rwanda’s lessons in building resilient digital justice systems and strengthening governance through technology.

Happy to be in Nanchang, China 🇨🇳 for the seminar on digital rule of law for developing countries, organized by Jiangxi University of Foreign Studies.

[Rwanda in Geneva @RwandaInGeneva]

Geneva 🇨🇭 takes center stage this week as @ITU and @UN convene the Global Dialogue on AI Governance, the #WSISForum2026, and the AI for Good Global Summit, bringing together leaders, policymakers, and innovators to shape the future of digital transformation and artificial intelligence.

Rwanda 🇷🇼 is taking part in this global gathering, with Min. @MusoniPaula and Amb. @urujeniB attending today's opening segment alongside fellow leaders and partners to advance dialogue on inclusive digital transformation, responsible AI and international cooperation.

Hier à Paris, c'était l'heure de vérité dans la course pour le poste de Secrétaire général de la Francophonie. L'audition des quatre candidats, par la 47ème session extraordinaire de la Conférence ministérielle de la Francophonie (CMF), a permis à chaque postulant de présenter, pendant 20 minutes, son parcours et sa vision, et de répondre, pendant 35 minutes, aux questions des ministres. Ceci était une première dans l'histoire de la Francophonie, qui a été permise par la réforme de la gouvernance de l'OIF opérée par la Secrétaire générale actuelle, Louise Mushikiwabo.

49 États membres, dont 23 ministres, étaient représentés à la CMF, y compris les Ministres des Affaires étrangères des quatre États ayant présenté des candidats (trois - Mauritanie, Roumanie et Rwanda - en présentiel, et une - RDC- en visioconférence).

À l'issue des auditions, deux conclusions se sont immédiatement imposées:

1) Les présentations de tous les candidats ont été faites dans un esprit tr��s constructif. En effet, les trois femmes africaines et le gentleman européen ont pu dérouler leur programme, sans confrontation aucune entre pays ou candidats. Les même personnes ont d'ailleurs pu échanger, de façon cordiale et courtoise, lors de la réception organisée par le Président cambodgien de la CMF;

2) Un contraste saisissant a quand-même sauté aux yeux de tous; entre d'une part, l'expérience, la compétence et la maîtrise des dossiers de Louise Mushikiwabo, et, d'autre part, celles de ses trois compétiteurs. Mais cela n'enlève rien à l'ambition sincère que tous les candidats ont pu exprimer pour notre organisation commune.

La prochaine étape sera le 20ème Sommet de la Francophonie, qui aura lieu à Phnom Penh au Cambodge les 15-16 Novembre 2026, au cours duquel les Chefs d'État et de Gouvernement vont, sur recommendation de leurs ministres, élire ou réélire le/la Secrétaire général(e) de la Francophonie.

Stop with the fake news @radiookapi That photo is NOT recent and it’s NOT of the Rwanda-Tanzania border at Rusomo - it’s of the DRC-Burundi border at Gatumba last February.
It is NOT connected to the current Ebola outbreak in DRC.
And there definitely are NO such crowds at any Rwandan border.
Radio Okapi should correct this, misinformation is dangerous.

Ce mémorial en hommage aux victimes du génocide perpétré contre les Tutsi au Rwanda est un lieu vivant. Il cultive la mémoire et projette vers l'avenir la relation entre le Rwanda et la France.

À nous de transmettre avec rigueur, dignité, vérité et justice.

“While Rwanda respects the Tribunal’s award and considers the matter concluded, we note that the dissenting and separate opinion by Professor Mohamed Abdel Wahab shows that the issues before the Tribunal were complex and open to different legal conclusions, including that the November 2024 exchanges relied on by the UK did not validly change the financial arrangements between the two countries. Rwanda will continue to work constructively with international partners, guided by international norms and mutually beneficial cooperation.”

Swedish lawyer Göran Hjalmarsson highlighted Sweden’s role in prosecuting genocide cases:

“Justice must not stop at borders — holding perpetrators accountable sends a signal to the world that such crimes will not go unpunished.”
