This evening at Amahoro Stadium, President Kagame joined tens of thousands of fans for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2027 Qualifiers match, as Rwanda’s national football team, Amavubi, secured a 3–1 victory over Liberia.
35 years ago, I came to Canada as a student.
This week I returned to see partners and friends of @ASG_Africa. I met High Commissioner, @higiro_prosper and the African Diplomatic Corps, renewed our partnership with @Carleton_U, and spoke with young leaders @ReachAllianceTO & @UofT
Most leadership training teaches people to fix systems. Far less asks how a society repairs itself once the systems have failed.
Rev. Dr. Antoine Rutayisire has spent his life on that harder question. He joins ASG as Professor of Practical Leadership and Management for Results, challenging students to see leadership as competence, character, and a responsibility to create meaningful change.
Our new Master of Public Adminstration (MPA) cohort recently arrived. I reminded them that expertise & management tools don't make one a leader. Values, attitudes, habits and routines do, and in time they form the right mindset for leadership. Welcome to all 65 from 15 countries.
President Kagame and His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tariq ended the first day of the visit with a State Banquet at Al Husn Palace, in honor of President Kagame’s official visit to Oman.
Prof. @ProfPLOLumumba is one of Africa's most recognised pan-Africanists and an adjunct professor here at ASG. He met our recently joined Master of Public Administration cohort and dropped a few nuggets along the way.
"Africa needs a new breed of men and women that lead differently. Are you those people?"
Watch the full conversation.
This afternoon in Salalah, President Kagame begins a two-day official visit, where he was welcomed by His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tariq at Al Husn Palace. President Kagame and His Majesty the Sultan held bilateral talks with their respective delegations, aimed at advancing cooperation in areas of mutual interest.
What happens when leaders bring different ideas of leadership together and put them to the test?
Across two Executive Education programmes, 51 students from 19 African countries challenged and reshaped their perspectives on what it takes to lead in a changing world.
As graduate Davy Nkurunziza reflected, “we arrived as strangers with our own versions of leadership. We leave as a cohort that has actually pressure tested those versions against each other and we came out on the other side sharper from it.”
The graduating cohort leaves with stronger connections and a deeper understanding of what it means to lead.
The Africa Mindset Reset Forum closed yesterday, drawing 6,000+ registrations from 74 countries. Thank you to H.E.@PaulKagame and H.E. @HMDessalegn whose conviction convened it, to the creators who gave it energy, and to the @ASG_Africa
team who built it. The Reset starts now.
The pleasure was mine. Grateful for a meaningful exchange on where our work can align, and for partners who share the vision. This is the start of something worth building. #AfricaMindsetReset
Day 1 of #MindsetReset2026 is in the books, and what a day!
1,500+ people in the room in Kigali. 4,000+ joining from across the continent and beyond. All of us here to rethink the mindsets Africa needs to shape its own future.
From Pan-Africanism to Meta-Africanism, the Reset has begun.
🎥 Watch the Day 1 highlights.

“The term “The Africa we want” has been repeated so much. Yes, there is Africa we want. Why can’t we have the Africa we want, since we have everything in place.
Why don’t we do things so that we can actually admire each other. Among us there are people capable of doing good things. Why don’t we join them and do exactly that.” President Kagame | Africa Mindset Reset Forum 2026
"The mindset of a leader is a choice."
ASG President, @Francis_Gatare , on why the continent's constraint is not resources or talent, but the scarcity thinking that treats opportunity as a fixed pie, when the work in front of us needs the opposite.
This is what ASG was built to change.

The inaugural cohort is bringing together 40 women to strengthen inclusive & effective political leadership.
The road to #MindsetReset2026 continues!
As we build toward the Mindset Reset Forum, the conversation among Africa's young leaders is gaining momentum.
In our X Spaces conversation, we'll be asking one big question: Who must reset first: Leaders, Institutions, or Citizens?
Join us this Friday, July 31, from 6:00–8:00 PM EAT as we explore the ideas shaping Africa's future.
We want to hear your perspective.
