“Do we really accept that, as black people, we are somehow less human and inferior?

Accepting it is not simply a matter of saying “yes.” No one will ask you that question directly. You can even say “no,” but if you behave in the very ways that brought us to the kind of history we have lived through, then, in reality, you have accepted it. You have diminished yourself. And your actions become the evidence. The evidence is in doing the very things that others did, or in trying to justify them with explanations that should never be accepted.

There are no two ways about it. Good politics and a good ideology produce positive outcomes. Bad outcomes come from bad ideas. You do not need any other evidence.

Many of you are still young. You go abroad to study. Under normal circumstances, there is nothing they know that you cannot also learn. But you can come back having absorbed ideas without questions, ideas that take you away from who you are and try to turn you into something else, something that is not yours.

Whether those ideas are good or bad, there is one illness I do not think we will cure anytime soon: when, in your own mind, you stop being yourself and begin wishing you were somebody else. Why would you want to become someone else? To achieve what? In our own history, with everything we have been through, that is exactly how we lost our way.

And then you wait for someone from outside to tell you, “This is wrong,” and you immediately agree, without realizing that what is being condemned is you. It is about stripping you of your identity, and you willingly accepting it.” President Kagame | Unity Club Meeting.

[Presidency | Rwanda @UrugwiroVillage]

"If you look at what has happened in Eastern Congo, and everything we have gone through over the past four or five years, and you look at what we have left behind, there is evidence. There are facts that speak for themselves. In Eastern Congo, in Goma and elsewhere, the whole world came together against Rwanda. The whole world lined up against Rwanda: the FDLR and all the groups associated with it that have been mentioned, the Wazalendo, the Burundian forces, the FARDC, the South Africans, and many others. I would rather not spend time naming them all; there were so many.

When you look at the scale of what they had assembled there and what they were up against, it is clear that what they were trying to do was wage war against Rwanda, destabilize our country, and reshape it the way they wanted. In fact, they said so themselves. Ordinarily, if someone were to say these things without evidence, you might think they were simply trying to frighten people, to intimidate them.

To convince themselves that what they wanted was within reach and that they were going to achieve it, they even brought in mercenaries. You know that many of them passed through here. We gave free passage to our enemies, allowing them to leave a war they waged against us, a war that was never theirs to begin with. That alone tells you something. And it is also something for which our forces, together with others who stood with them, deserve recognition.

As for Rwanda, we will always be in a struggle for our very existence. Regardless of those who wish us harm, surrounding us from many sides, one thing remains true: we should and will always be a step ahead of them.

It is our right. It is our will. And our history has taught us that we have within ourselves the capacity to defend and protect ourselves whenever necessary. And that is exactly what we will continue to do." President Kagame | Unity Club Meeting

''It is incredible to see how many people are being served daily through such a well-structured system.” — @JanetKaremera CEO of the @RCBrwanda .

From Rugende Farms to the kitchens serving thousands of patients and students daily, the Rwanda Convention Bureau team experienced our Farm to Plate journey firsthand. Each step, growing, preparing, and serving, showcased how well-designed systems can deliver real, lasting impact.

Beyond the process, the visit sparked deeper conversations about how experiences like these can support initiatives that strengthen public nutrition systems. Every meal served is part of a bigger story, one where collaboration, care, and innovation come together to build sustainable change.

This visit marks another step in our journey to scale public nutrition infrastructure in Rwanda.

Six years ago, rammed earth was illegal to build with in Rwanda. Today it’s the primary material of a 69-building university campus built almost entirely by local hands.

96% of all construction materials sourced within Rwanda. Rammed earth, compressed earth blocks, locally quarried stone, terracotta roof tiles made from on-site soil and clay. The buildings were literally harvested from the ground they sit on.

One cooperative formed by workers trained in rammed-earth techniques during construction now carries that expertise to projects across Rwanda. The building didn’t just train students, it trained builders and changed the local construction economy.

Embodied carbon 60% below the global average for institutional buildings. Fully off-grid, powered by a 1.5MW solar array. Projected to become fully climate-positive by 2040, removing more carbon than was produced during its construction.

Earth blocks were actually illegal in Rwanda until 2019. MASS worked with the Government of Rwanda to write new standards and guidelines to legalize their use. They didn’t just build a campus, they changed national building policy.

This is what it looks like when architecture takes its responsibility seriously.

“We do not say ‘Never Again’ because we believe that the ill has been eradicated, nor that the fight is over; we say ‘Never Again’ because we have embraced the reality of a perpetual resistance against the recurrence of the evil that tried to break us, to erase us.” - First Lady Mrs Jeannette Kagame

As we continue #Kwibuka32, Her Excellency reflects on the enduring responsibility of remembrance, the courage of survivors, and the duty of every generation to defend truth.

Rwanda hosts its first AWS Outposts deployment in the region, becoming the third country in Africa after South Africa and Nigeria to adopt the system. The deployment is delivered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) in partnership SAND, bringing hybrid cloud infrastructure on-premises. It enables low-latency computing, local data processing, and stronger data sovereignty, supporting local AI revolution, government and enterprise services and advancing Rwanda’s Vision 2050 digital transformation agenda in general. #aws #AI #FactsOnRwanda

President Kagame will be remembered for many things he has done for Rwanda and its people. But above all, there is one defining legacy that history will carry for generations to come: “forgiveness and reconciliation”
