I miss good customer service, for sure.
Mujya mubona ukuntu hano service nziza ari intego, n'aho bitagenze neza ukabivuga, ubona abantu bashyashyana ngo bikemuke?
Then you go somewhere else. You report an issue and are told to wait 3 days. Three days pass, you follow up, and you're told to wait another 3 days. Mana weee! 😩
Dear Anamariya, Welcome to the wonderful world of mediocrity, where waiting is the process and apologies are the product.😢😢
Mwirirweho pe!
Reka nshake amazi nshyiremo indimu na ka tangawizi👺

Dear @PaulKagame
I implore you to intervene in my case and help me get justice because only you can. I ask not a favour from the justice system, but a right.
To the young people of #Rwanda, being young is not enough. You cannot afford to waste any opportunity. Do not let the fear of failure or taking risks stand in the way of who you can be. Claim your rightful place in the world, no one will hand it to you
Long Post Alert! 🚨
Sustainability and accountability are just as important as creativity. It is difficult to ignore that CoK appears to have provided substantial initial support, including free space for over a year. That kind of backing is not insignificant, and it creates a responsibility on the benefiting party to plan for long-term viability.
While it’s easy to place blame on public institutions when things fall apart, there also needs to be honest reflection and ownership from the artist’s side. When you are given such an opportunity, one of the first responsibilities is to clearly understand your numbers: how much revenue is coming in daily, weekly, monthly, and whether that realistically supports rent and operations. Agreeing to a contract without clarity on financial sustainability creates avoidable risk.
Beyond that, proactive engagement matters. If challenges arise, the expectation should not be to wait until eviction pressure builds.
That said, we also need to intentionally support our artists beyond just providing space. There is a real need to strengthen self-reliance, bookkeeping, and business ownership within the creative sector. We don’t want struggling artists, we want thriving, sustainable creative enterprises. Mentorship, practical training, and collaborative ecosystems are essential.
Collaboration is also key.
Our artists should actively build partnerships with tour operators, event planners, and the wider hospitality ecosystem. We have a growing MICE industry, but an important question remains: what do guests do after meetings and conferences? They are looking to experience a piece of Rwanda, and cultural spaces should naturally be part of that journey.
These are the kinds of conversations that artists and founders of spaces like Ingabo should be leading as well. I remember when Inema Art Center was a must-visit destination, where do people go today? This is an opportunity for reflection, innovation, and stronger collaboration across the sector.
As we commemorate the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, Afro Ark visited the Kigali Genocide Memorial at Gisozi to pay respect and lay flowers in honor of the victims.
On April 13, they came to kill me.
They left me there… thinking I was already gone.
My body was broken.
My head was cut.
I was covered in pain and silence.
But inside me… life was still there.
I don’t know how I survived.
I don’t know how I opened my eyes again.
But I did.
This picture shows what they did to me.
The wounds. The scars. The moment they thought my life was finished.
But look at me now…
I am alive.
I am breathing.
I am standing.
I carried my pain.
I cried.
I healed slowly.
I rebuilt myself piece by piece.
And today… I rise.
They thought they ended my story.
But my story continued.
I am not just a survivor.
I am life that refused to die.
I watched HE’s closing speech at the Leadership Retreat and I also followed our reactions in WhatsApp groups and on social media.
It feels like many of us are avoiding the most obvious and important part of his message. The concern about accountability is not only about GoR officials. It shows up in our homes and in our workplaces and in government of course.
Maybe each of us needs a personal « Mwiherero ». The kind where we ask ourselves honest and sometimes uncomfortable questions.
Think about your « to do list » from last month. How far did you go with it? Nanjye harimo ibyo nibagiwe, hari n’ibyo nirengagije gutunganya. Twisubireho!🙃🙊
