The 1st HOME to renovate is your BODY

The science is simple: most chronic diseases are largely preventable through healthy daily habits:

- Move 1 hr/day (or 10,000 steps)
- Eat mostly whole foods
- Sleep 7-9hrs- aim for bed before 10pm
- Drink 2–3L of water
- Get outside daily

“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

"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

[Presidency | Rwanda @UrugwiroVillage]

“Do we really accept that, as black people, we are somehow less human and inferior?

Accepting it is not simply a matter of saying “yes.” No one will ask you that question directly. You can even say “no,” but if you behave in the very ways that brought us to the kind of history we have lived through, then, in reality, you have accepted it. You have diminished yourself. And your actions become the evidence. The evidence is in doing the very things that others did, or in trying to justify them with explanations that should never be accepted.

There are no two ways about it. Good politics and a good ideology produce positive outcomes. Bad outcomes come from bad ideas. You do not need any other evidence.

Many of you are still young. You go abroad to study. Under normal circumstances, there is nothing they know that you cannot also learn. But you can come back having absorbed ideas without questions, ideas that take you away from who you are and try to turn you into something else, something that is not yours.

Whether those ideas are good or bad, there is one illness I do not think we will cure anytime soon: when, in your own mind, you stop being yourself and begin wishing you were somebody else. Why would you want to become someone else? To achieve what? In our own history, with everything we have been through, that is exactly how we lost our way.

And then you wait for someone from outside to tell you, “This is wrong,” and you immediately agree, without realizing that what is being condemned is you. It is about stripping you of your identity, and you willingly accepting it.” President Kagame | Unity Club Meeting.

[Presidency | Rwanda @UrugwiroVillage]

“We went through a very dark chapter. But is that who we were meant to be? Is that what Rwandans wanted for themselves? Even if some people at the time wanted it that way, our responsibility today is to say: no. It is our history, but it is not who we should have been, and it is not who we should become.

That is what liberation means. It means that, as Rwandans, we freed ourselves.

You live for what you truly believe in, to the point where, if necessary, you are ready to die for it. That is where Rwanda stands today, whether some people like it or not.” President Kagame | Unity Club Meeting.

[Presidency | Rwanda @UrugwiroVillage]

"The composition of this panel, bringing together a former member of the ex-FAR, General (Rtd) Ibingira from the RPA/RPF, and a former member of the FDLR, and what they have shared, reflects just how complex, diverse, and layered our history is. It is from that history that we should draw the lessons to move our country forward, in the way we want and through our own efforts.

Let me say this: a great deal of what has been said on this panel has been valuable, and the discussions around it have only reinforced those lessons. One thing I wanted to pick up on is what Ibingira mentioned about those ungrateful people who insult and disparage others.

My advice is simple: do not waste your energy fighting those who insult you. Put your energy into building, building yourselves, and building your country, so that insults and the people who make them become insignificant and have no impact on you. Ignore them, and keep doing what you are supposed to do. That is what matters.

Your response should be your actions. Eventually, those who thrive on insults grow tired and stay hostages of history." President Kagame | Unity Club Meeting.

“When you see someone give himself so fully that he is even ready to lose his life, then serving the country at the level we have reached today, compared to that kind of sacrifice, should really not be too much for us.” President Kagame | Swearing-in Ceremony of New Government Officials.

[Presidency | Rwanda @UrugwiroVillage]

“Leaders often should not look at themselves alone. They are supposed to come last, not first, in sharing the benefits that come from doing things well.

Too often, however, it is evident that some people put their own interests first.

Many even add arrogance to it, forgetting that ours is a service to the nation, not a contest between one person and another. The interests of the country must always come first. And when you serve the country well, the truth is that you too are among those who benefit. What matters is for people to see their duty that way.” President Kagame | Swearing-in Ceremony of New Government Officials

Je remercie chaleureusement mon frère et ami, le Président @PaulKagame, ainsi que l’ancien Président Olusegun Obasanjo, pour leur présence à #Lomé, à l’ouverture de la Convention et Exposition africaines du transport aérien 2026. Leur engagement constant en faveur de l’unité et de l’intégration africaines donne une signification particulière à cette rencontre.

Le ciel africain ne doit pas être perçu uniquement comme un espace de circulation. Il constitue un levier stratégique de mobilité, de commerce, de compétitivité et de souveraineté pour notre continent. Il demeure un instrument majeur de la transformation économique africaine et un accélérateur d’opportunités pour notre jeunesse.

C’est dans cet esprit que nous réaffirmons aujourd’hui, à Lomé, notre conviction qu’une Afrique mieux connectée à elle-même sera une Afrique plus forte, plus prospère et plus maîtresse de son destin.

“Air connectivity, at its core, is about Africa’s ability to act collectively and obtain concrete results. For decades, we have spoken about integration, trade and free movement. We know what has to be done. We just have to do it.” President Kagame | African Air Transport Convention & Expo 2026
