"Be firm, and if necessary defiant. You have as much stake in this world of ours, as anyone. Take your seat, Africa’s seat, at the table...But neither can we be satisfied with mediocrity, or flattered by praise for small ambitions."

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The absence of permanent African seats on the Security Council is indefensible.

The Security Council must reflect today’s world. This is 2026 — not 1946.

Whenever decisions about Africa and the world are on the table, Africa must be at the table.

The Household electricity access rate in Rwanda rose from 10.8% in 2010 to 82.9% in 2025. The Government of Rwanda remains committed to achieving universal access to electricity and building a brighter future. A Government that delivers ✍🏿

The Constitutional Court has declared the Constitution of Zambia (Amendment) Bill Number 7 of 2025 as unconstitutional. The court ruled that the amendment was initiated without wide consultations with the people and ordered the Govt to restart the process, this time properly.

In short:
1. Chinese banker, ICBC loaned Botswana 10.5 bn.
2. Botswana awarded Chinese contractor,CNEEC tender to build power station, MorupuleB
3. Performance of MorupuleB has been erratic since commissioning in 2012
4. Realibility challenges has resulted in extra P18.9bn costs

Congratulations, #Namibia. Lean #government is the way to go. The fewer the cooks, the clearer the national mental clarity.

The results produced by any organization/entity/country are a summation of the collective average thinking capacity of its decision makers.

For a corporation led by architects, both CEO and Board, this is disappointing from BHC. They could have at least asked UB architecture students to come with a design or run an architecture competition. We should be driving affordable & decent housing, not shelter.

Rwanda breaking diplomatic ties with Belgium is a strong message to the former colonial masters that not all African states will surrender their sovereignty and dignity for crumbs of economic aid.

In 1970, the UK and Norway both discovered oil in the North Sea.

The UK sold their reserves to private markets while Norway kept state ownership.

This ONE decision created the biggest wealth gap in European history.

Africa is a very unlucky continent. Its most effective and progressive country (Rwanda) and its leader @PaulKagame is able shake Africa and the world & inspire millions with very little of everything. Now imagine it had the land size of Nigeria or South Africa, their population, economic resources and geo strategic positioning. What would it be able to accomplish in terms of direct influence & political plus moral inspiration? Think about it!

[Olivier J.P. Nduhungirehe @onduhungirehe]

When President Félix Tshisekedi supported and armed the FDLR genocidal force, which he embedded in his own army, Belgium saw it but did nothing about it.

When President Tshisekedi publicly and repeatedly promised to overthrow the government of Rwanda and to bomb Kigali without setting boots on the ground, Belgium heard it loud and clear but remained silent.

When President Tshisekedi spent billions of dollars in heavy weaponry, including attack drones and fighter jets, to achieve his proclaimed goal, and when he put in place a military coalition made of local militias, FDLR genocidal force, Burundian and SAMIDRC forces, as well European mercenaries, for the same purpose, Brussels was fully aware but didn't act.

When the FARDC and its criminal militias persecute and kill, in broad daylight, the Congolese Tutsi in North Kivu, the Banyamulenge in South Kivu and the Hema in Ituri, Belgium is informed to the fullest but chose to look the other way.

And when the Belgian Foreign Minister claims that his country wants "a professional suspension process that preserves the gains of our longstanding cooperation for the benefit of the Rwandan people", this is not only pure neocolonial narrative, but also hypocrisy.

First, it's not the Kingdom of Belgium that takes care of the well-being of the Rwandan people but the Government of Rwanda itself.

Second, if Belgium was working for the "benefit of the Rwandan people", it would not be running around the world putting pressure on all our partners to end the development cooperation intended for that very "Rwandan people".

Third, Rwanda and History know too well how the Kingdom of Belgium usually behaves when it comes to defending the Rwandan people.

I rest my case.

[Spencer Mogapi @spencermogapi]

A fair accusation from a purely foreign policy standpoint would be to say Boko should by now have already paid a state visit, or at the bare minimum a working visit to Pretoria, our most important trade partner. Masisi did a lot of damage to Botswana/South Africa relations

Since assuming office I've been getting a sense that @Ndaba_Gaolathe is among those who got into position very prepared & he has been ready for a while. His interactions have been focused, reassuring & logical. The Ministry of Finance has also been doing well with comms!! 👏🏾

[Paul Kagame @PaulKagame]

I held two conversations this week with President Ramaphosa on the situation in Eastern DRC, including earlier today. What has been said about these conversations in the media by South African officials and President Ramaphosa himself contains a lot of distortion, deliberate attacks, and even lies. If words can change so much from a conversation to a public statement, it says a lot about how these very important issues are being managed.

A few important clarifications for the record:

1. The Rwanda Defence Force is an army, not a militia.

2. SAMIDRC is not a peacekeeping force, and it has no place in this situation. It was authorized by SADC as a belligerent force engaging in offensive combat operations to help the DRC Government fight against its own people, working alongside genocidal armed groups like FDLR which target Rwanda, while also threatening to take the war to Rwanda itself.

3. SAMIDRC displaced a true peacekeeping force, the East African Community Regional Force, and this contributed to the failure of the negotiation processes.

4. President Ramaphosa has never given a "warning" of any kind, unless it was delivered in his local language which I do not understand. He did ask for support to ensure the South African force has adequate electricity, food and water, which we shall help communicate.

5. President Ramaphosa confirmed to me that M23 did not kill the soldiers from South Africa, FARDC did.

6. If South Africa wants to contribute to peaceful solutions, that is well and good, but South Africa is in no position to take on the role of a peacemaker or mediator. And if South Africa prefers confrontation, Rwanda will deal with the matter in that context any day.
