As we mark Kwibuka, we honor the victims of the Genocide against the Tutsi and reflect on its unspeakable horrors. The United States stands with Rwanda in unity and reconciliation and firmly rejects denial or minimization of the genocide.
@RDBrwanda can someone pls assist me with my business registration application? The feedback I was given in July is not actionable and I've reached out by email twice. TY!
Rwanda like India now in data rates. Less than $3/month for unlimited everything, and good 4G phones available for less than $20. Airtel + subsidies from me. Jio tranformed India digital and Airtel now doing that in Rwanda. Unlimited data = freedom to learn.
Sesame Workshop is looking to expand its roster of graphic designers, illustrators and authors and seeking submissions from creatives in #Rwanda. Our work supports early education, positive parenting and play. Please circulate! #ecd#learningthroughplay
The bridge between play and education takes shape as Kina Rwanda's Executive Director and the State Minister of Education engage in forward-thinking conversations about the importance of infusing game-based learning into the Rwandan education landscape. #kinawiga#kinarwanda
Co-facilitators of negotiations on Outcome Document of @UNECOSOC Forum on Financing for Development @Portugal_UN & @RwandaUN are glad that the text was adopted by consensus today. We thank all delegations for flexibility and support and look forward to future #Fin4Dev steps.
Basically, Sundaram’s beef in today’s NY Times is that Rwanda is associated with global brands, President Kagame is a popular/effective leader, also respected by world leaders, & his courageous Rwandan/PanAfrican “jabs hit home hard”.
It’s called dignity (agaciro). Deal with it.
As survivors share their painful testimonies, as the country remembers the Genocide against the Tutsi, the @nytimes found it fit to publish a piece blaming the victims for causing it and “not doing enough” to stop it.
To be clear:
1.The only causes of the Genocide against the Tutsi are those who carried it out and those who supported them, turned revisionists and apologists today. Welcome to the club Anjan, you can take your seat alongside the latter.
2.The RPA/RPF put an end to the Genocide against the Tutsi. NO ONE else.
3.Contrary to popular NYT belief, our utmost national ambition is not western approval or any other euphemism for “Africans need supervision.” If you care to know, it is actually transforming the lives of citizens, with actions, not articles.
4.Our past has taught us that our future can only be defined by Rwandans. “Nobody will ever decide for us how to live our lives.”- President Kagame
President @PaulKagame: “Above all, and as always, I thank my fellow Rwandans for the courage they have shown in overcoming impossible odds, and working together to build a new and better nation.”
