I salute the thousands of @UN personnel who serve around the world today.
When conflict erupts, they work for peace. When violence & disaster strike, they deliver life-saving aid. When rights are violated, they speak out.
It's the honour of my lifetime to serve alongside them.

🇷🇼 Agathe Uwilingiyimana, the first female Prime Minister in Rwanda’s history, is one of Rwanda’s leading lights who exemplified heroism in her self-sacrificing fight against the regime that perpetrated the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi.
She served as Prime Minister from July 17, 1993, to the time of her untimely death, in April 1994.
Uwilingiyimana married Ignace Barahira in 1976. The couple was blessed with five children, four boys and a girl.
Before becoming Prime Minister, she served as Minister of Education. She strongly advocated for equal rights among students, and for the rights of women in addition to spearheading the fight against divisionism.
