Speaker Highlight: Gabriella Nandi — Physiotherapist

“Wellness is not separate from daily life… it is part of how we live every day.”

At Mama You Matter 2026, @GabriellaNandi reminded women that wellness is not something we schedule once in a while ;it is something we practice daily.

She spoke about holistic wellness : caring for the body, mind, and emotions and how small, consistent actions can transform wellbeing over time. From movement, to rest, to managing stress, to creating moments of calm wellness becomes a lifestyle, not a luxury.

Her message was clear and powerful:
When women prioritize their wellbeing, they show up stronger ; for their families, their work, and their communities.

Because wellness is not an extra…
It is the foundation.

And when women are well, everything around them becomes stronger.

Even the Refugee Crisis Lays Bare the Truth: #Rwanda vs. #DRC

The situation in the DRC is making headlines today. I am not here to debate M23, SAMIDRC, or any other players. I just want to share my testimony—because I know what it feels like to flee home, and almost every Rwandan does too.

Maybe this is why we understand M23 better than any regional or international players ever could. We’ve lived this reality. We know what it means to be unwanted, to be abandoned. We know what it is to be hunted down, not for anything we’ve done, but simply for who we are—for unchangeable physical traits that marked us for death. And we also know that the root causes of the conflicts in the DRC are deeply tied to our own history—our shared past, our shared border.

In 1994, when the Genocide Against the Tutsi was stopped by the RPA Inkotanyi, many Rwandans fled—pushed and escorted by the defeated genocidal regime, now known as the #FDLR. They told us that RPA would kill us all, and that exile would be short-lived because they would soon return to power.

Yet, 30 years later, that “short-lived” exile continues for those who chose to remain with the FDLR—wandering aimlessly, trapped in a past they refuse to let go of. They’ve been fed and sustained by the same genocide ideology that led to Rwanda’s darkest chapter. Their children, born in exile, grow up being taught to hate a Rwanda they’ve never even seen. And so, their suffering continues, not because Rwanda rejected them, but because they rejected Rwanda. But that is a story for another day.

When we arrived in Goma, in what was then Zaïre, there was no government assistance, no structured support. Our parents, already exhausted and broken, struggled to care for their children with nothing. We slept and cooked on the roads, as people around us died from cholera, hunger, and the unbearable lack of hygiene and healthcare. Bodies lay unburied because survival was the only priority.

Help came later, not from the Congolese government, but from NGOs, UNHCR, and kind-hearted Congolese who shared the little they had.

Meanwhile, the Congolese police and army saw refugees as an opportunity—not to protect, but to exploit. They demanded bribes, looted anything of value, and preyed on the helpless.

This would never happen in Rwanda. The Rwanda Defence Force, the Rwanda National Police, and Rwandans as a people would never even dream of committing such heartless acts—not against vulnerable people seeking refuge, nor against anyone coming to us for help.

Only 30 years after the country was devastated by the Genocide Against the Tutsi, Rwanda rebuilt everything from scratch—from healing physical, mental, and emotional wounds to re-establishing justice, repatriating Rwandans, regaining the will to live, strengthening unity, and finding the resilience to rebuild a nation together as one people.

And yet, despite carrying this history, look at what Rwanda does today. Look at how refugees are treated.

Before NGOs even arrive, the Rwandan government steps in—shelters are built, food is distributed, medical care is provided. No one is left stranded. No one is left to suffer alone.

Even UN staff and international community members desperate to leave Goma were escorted to Kigali with dignity and respect—yes, even the mercenaries. Indeed, Rwanda ensures order, dignity, and humanity.

So I ask:

How can anyone not support this tremendous progress Rwanda has made?

How can anyone despise the President who made all of this possible, a true Pan-Africanist, a leader who always speaks the truth, even when it is uncomfortable?

Maybe it’s his courage that bothers them. Maybe it’s because he proves that Africa can stand on its own, that leadership with integrity is possible, that dignity is not negotiable.

But no amount of noise can erase the truth. No propaganda can undo what Rwanda has built.

We’re here. We’re strong. We’re united thanks to HE #PaulKagame. And Rwanda will never apologize for choosing excellence.

#Kwibuka30: In 1994 while Rosalie Gicanda was in Belgium for medical treatment, she received a letter on 3 February instructing her to leave Belgium by 12 February and not to go to Luxembourg or the Netherlands. She was threatened with prosecution, detention & deportation if she did not comply. This happened when Belgian authorities already had ample information of the planned genocide about to be unleashed.

11 April 1994 is a key date in the abandonment of Rwanda by the international community.
On this day, Belgian UNMIR peacekeepers withdrew from the ETO school in Kicukiro, abandoning thousands Tutsi from the area who had sought safety at a UN base. As they sped off, the peacekeepers fired in the air to scare off any Tutsi that attempted to hang on to their trucks. The Interahamwe who had surrounded the school for days immediately started killing those at the school and marched the rest up the hill to Nyanza-Kicukiro where they massacred most them.

"For many years I befriended and lived with soldiers intending to grab a gun one day to avenge my family."

Genocide survivor Felix Nduwamungu opens up about overcoming the "urge to avenge family" as Rwanda marks #Kwibuka30.

[Bibiche Keza @Bibiche_Keza]

Always wanted to give my two cents on this accusation (Frankly, ever since I realized PoliSci professors have hounded Rwandan students for years on our post-Genocide experience). It seems even better to do so as election year begins
