INDIA’S RAILWAY GIANT CHOOSES RWANDA AS AFRICAN BASE FOR REGIONAL EXPANSION

India’s leading railway engineering company, Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL), is expanding its global footprint with Rwanda emerging as its strategic base for East Africa operations. The Indian state-backed infrastructure giant is establishing a presence in Rwanda to pursue regional opportunities in railway construction, signaling, electrification and metro systems.

The move positions Rwanda as a gateway for Indian engineering expertise into Africa’s fast-growing transport sector, including major projects such as the proposed $2.5 billion Isaka–Kigali railway corridor connecting Rwanda with Tanzania. Norther Corridors connecting Kenya's Mombasa port to region. #FactsOnRwanda

“I hear what is popular among young people these days: vibes. I have nothing against good vibes. Vibes are not just for young people. Even those of us who are older can enjoy them. But if we are going to enjoy the vibes, we must have something solid to stand on, please. Don’t invest in vibes, invest in the foundation where you can now vibe. Because if there is no foundation, it won’t last.

We want things that are sustainable. We want to build a society that is resilient. You can’t built a society that is resilient on vibes. But a resilient society can vibe.” President Kagame, Chairman of the RPF | RPF Bureau Politique.

“For decades, Rwanda was shaped by a deliberate system of exclusion, fear, and division. The purpose of the liberation struggle was to restore what had been taken away: the right of Rwandans to live in dignity.

However, the ideas behind the genocide have not disappeared completely. They persist in different forms, and remain present across our region. We have seen, and suffered too much to ever take this threat lightly.

Security and good governance are the foundation of everything we have built. Security is a matter of survival, not external approval. Without it, nothing else holds together. That is why we remain vigilant and firm.

What happened here will never happen again, for one simple reason: we will not allow it.”President Kagame | #Kwibohora32

[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

“La RDC est la cause de tous les problèmes dont nous parlons, mais ceux qui décident d’appliquer des sanctions le font selon leurs propres critères, en fonction de leurs propres intérêts.

Émettre des sanctions ne signifie pas qu’elles sont justifiées. On vous les applique parce que vous ne correspondez pas aux intérêts de ceux qui vous les infligent. Une chose est sûre : qu’on n’attende pas de moi que je demande pardon et que j’accepte des sanctions injustifiées, dont je ne comprends pas les bases.”- President Kagame
