Human Rights Watch on Rwanda is a 30-year pattern: anonymous claims, no site visits or forensics, sanctions first and investigation later. Richard Johnson’s warning on @HRW still stands: https://t.co/cSTjTnzoWI
On their latest report, @HRW cannot claim accountability while ignoring its own findings: Kinshasa arms, finances and coordinates with FDLR, Wazalendo, foreign mercenaries and the Burundian army, all dangerous armed forces/militias at the core of the conflict & human suffering in eastern DRC.
It should be clear that the RDF is not AFC/M23. Any serious investigation requires impartiality, access, forensic rigor, due process, and not conclusions announced in advance, or bombastic calls for sanctions.
The path forward remains the Washington Accords with balanced mediation, in pursuit of sustainable security, dialogue, accountability and regional cooperation.
Rwanda has a growing economy.
Rwanda’s GDP in 2025 increased by 9.4%, reaching 23.387 trillion RWF, up from 19.918 trillion RWF in 2024.
The growth was driven by services 52%, industry 22%, and agriculture 20%.
This afternoon at Urugwiro Village, President Kagame chaired a Cabinet meeting, focused on the implementation of policies advancing the country’s development agenda.
The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.
The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.
Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.
If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
Earlier today, we held a press conference to share Bank of Kigali’s Q1 2026 Financial Results. The Bank recorded a Profit After Tax of RWF 26.1 billion, a 3.5% increase compared to the same period last year. These results reflect our continued commitment to empowering individuals and businesses through greater access to finance, innovative solutions, and support for Rwanda’s economic growth and development. #BK60 #Q1 #Financials
@US_SrAdvisorAF Nosense. US has always been useless when it comes to the security of other countries. They think them and Israel are the only ones entitled to security.

Equating the FDLR with the M23 is not neutrality, it is historical and political distortion.
One is widely linked to the legacy of the 1994 genocide and long-standing patterns of mass atrocities and regional destabilization. The other emerged from a distinct, ongoing political and security crisis in eastern DRC, shaped by unresolved governances, including the effect of genocide against the Tutsi in 1994, and contested protection of certain communities who were at the verge of extermination, and are most scattered in different refugee camps around the world.
Placing them on the same moral and historical footing may serve diplomatic convenience, but it does not serve accuracy.
History is not balanced by arithmetic. It is clarified by truth, and truth, however delayed, ultimately prevails.
“Confronting historical responsibilities requires real courage, because it generates fierce opposition by those with a case to answer. You need a strong sense of humanity to see it through. President Macron, I want to commend you on both counts: courage and humanity.
You acknowledged that France could have stopped the genocide, but did not. In response, I described your words as something more valuable than an apology: namely, the truth. This door was first opened by President Nicolas Sarkozy, and I wish to commend him today.
The Genocide against the Tutsi was foreseeable, and in fact foreseen, and France was in a unique position to observe and to act. It took too long for France to come to terms with its role, causing additional pain. And on some points, we still have not found consensus. I fully understand the feelings of those survivors and advocates, who remain dissatisfied with the official record. But I believe that our common work has initiated a journey towards truth, which is irreversible.
And France was not alone in falling short, far from it. Many other countries did so as well, but none has gone as far as France in setting the record straight and accepting its part in the tragedy.” President Kagame | Inauguration of Monument in Paris honouring the victims of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi.
Ce mémorial en hommage aux victimes du génocide perpétré contre les Tutsi au Rwanda est un lieu vivant. Il cultive la mémoire et projette vers l'avenir la relation entre le Rwanda et la France.
À nous de transmettre avec rigueur, dignité, vérité et justice.

This evening at the BK Arena, President Kagame attended the #BAL2026 Playoff semi-finals, where Rwanda’s RSSB Tigers secured a 106–97 victory over Egypt’s Al Ahly, advancing to the BAL Finals.
Hello, dear international community. (Whoever you might be) Please refrain from condemning attacks on Kisangani. Instead, I urge you to remain silent, as you did when Kisangani was being used to bomb civilians. The concept of “both sides” has become obsolete. Tshisekedi is solely responsible for this situation. If you cannot hold him accountable, let those who can do so do it appropriately and proportionally to his actions.-Akaliza. End!
