Rwanda’s “Africa Mindset Reset” has been 32 years in the making. As Dr. @DodoPicard highlighted today, the Rwandan model has consisted in “sowing from context, mobilizing citizens, institutionalizing, and constantly measuring and adapting”. @Francis_Gatare
“My family went into exile when I was 4 years old. So, for a big part of my life, I was a refugee in Uganda... We grew up into this kind of determination to say, no, we can’t just leave it at that. We can’t live as refugees forever.”
Reflecting on his childhood as a refugee, President Kagame spoke about how the hardships his family endured shaped his determination to change their circumstances during the ASG Africa Mindset Reset Forum in Kigali.

🇨🇳 In China, they're already teaching primary school kids how to use AI and program robots
If this continues at the current pace, it's not the robots that will take over the world; it's China
Time for the West to wake up and start prioritising education

🐘 Happy World Elephant Day!
Akagera’s elephants are a powerful symbol of resilience and recovery. Their story spans generations, beginning with a small group relocated to the park in the 1970s and growing into one of Rwanda’s most iconic wildlife populations.
Their journey is a reminder of how conservation can transform challenges into lasting success.

SpaceX is getting very close to building the first serious base on the Moon
Starship changes the entire equation
It is designed to deliver up to 100 tonnes directly to the lunar surface - enough to transport habitats, rovers, power systems, construction equipment and everything needed to begin building a permanent outpost
Then the other pieces come together
Tesla Optimus robots could eventually unload cargo, assemble structures, move equipment and perform dangerous construction work before large human crews arrive
Building a base mostly with humans is a serious limitation
Humans need life support, pressurized habitats, spacesuits, oxygen, food and protection just to survive and work on the lunar surface
But with Tesla Optimus, that equation changes entirely
Tesla’s experience with solar energy, batteries, autonomous vehicles and large-scale manufacturing can support the power and transportation systems required on the Moon
SpaceX provides transportation
Tesla provides energy, autonomy and robotics
Starship provides the scale
Suddenly building a serious base on the Moon becomes dramatically easier
And once that infrastructure is ready, humans can stay for much longer periods and eventually even routine private lunar missions and tourism become possible
Once the first permanent lunar outpost is established, its usefulness will compound rapidly.....supporting science, resource development, communications and deeper missions into space
The Moon could become humanity’s first true outpost beyond Earth
A traditional technique practiced by young shepherds of Ethiopia’s Banna tribe.
They walk on stilts to watch over their livestock in tall grass, navigate wetland areas, and stay safe from snakes and predators such as lions and leopards.
It demands strength, balance, and training starting from childhood.
