A thought I have been reflecting on latelyโฆ. Life is like basketball: you donโt win by watching the scoreboard. You win by taking the shots. Some you will miss but never stop shootingโฆ. Instead, stay in the game long enough to win the one that matters the mostโฆ๐
i donโt think people are fully processing how insane this is. lewis at 41, in a brand new environment at ferrari, learning everything from scratch again, competing against a younger generation and still winning races. thatโs GENERATIONAL LONGEVITY.
What they gonna say now? ๐คซ๐

Dear Survivor,
Your testimony stays with us โ the small, impossible choices you were forced to make as a child.
Giving away the little money you had, hoping it might save a sibling.
Wearing layers of clothing, prepared for nights in the cold.
Being told to run in different directions โ trusting that, God willing, you would meet again.
We also remember those who, though not targeted, chose to risk everything to protect others โ affirming, even in the darkest moments, the possibility of humanity.
These are not just memories. They are truths that shape our collective responsibility.
As President @PaulKagame reminded us on 7 April, your strength is a reservoir of humanity that continues to define who we are.
Your loved ones live on in our memory, and in every step this country takes forward.
May you find moments of peace, and the strength to continue, at your own pace.
#Kwibuka32

As early as 1993 in Kigali, Mulindi, Ruhengeri, Byumba, the genocidal regime had started killing Tutsis, making lists of targeted families, buying crude weapons- mostly machetes, training Interahamwe militias, and promoting hate rhetoric on RTLM radio.
โWe sent the Telegram to UN Headquarters in New York alerting the world that there was a genocide being planned, and executed but we were ignored.โ Gen. El Hadji Babacar Faye.

Big countries complain about immigrants coming inโฆ
but rarely ask why theyโre leaving in the first place.
What if the same systems creating opportunity in one place are creating pressure somewhere else?
People donโt just leave home for no reason.

In 2016, a woman in rural Rwanda was hemorrhaging during childbirth. A hospital texted for blood. Minutes later, a Zipline drone launched. 10 minutes after that, it parachuted type O negative to the landing zone. The mother and baby both survived. That system now supplies 75% of Rwanda's blood and has cut maternal mortality by 51%.
I love Ishowspeed. Thereโs something about him that the kids so needed. Itโs okay to be you? Maybe that. But I donโt know man, heโs doing great, itโs bigger than that.
What I love most about Dave is that he never positions himself as a saint.
Whenever he tackles social issues, he does it with a rare honesty, acknowledging that heโs part of the problem too.
Itโs not music from a preacher; itโs raw, self-aware reflection from someone genuinely trying to navigate just like the rest of us.
I expected this Dave album to be powerful, but man, I didnโt expect thisโฆ
No hit-chasing songs, no algorithm friendly songs, and minimal commercial appeal.
Daveโs music has always come with a message, but itโs clear heโs at a point now where he could care less about numbers, and is choosing to deliver strictly just value and purpose through his art.
He could make more Sprinters, Locations, Clashs, Thiago Silvas, Verdansks, Trojan Horses, and Starlights, but he chooses message and impact over sales and monetary gain.
Iโve been striving to creatively move this way this last year specifically, and itโs been leading to peace of mind, a sense of purpose, and a clearer vision on focusing on the things that are truly important. And after just 1 listen, this Dave album felt like the embodiment of that sentiment, and I love that.
I canโt wait to dive deeper with more listens.
The Rwandan delegation in Washington DC this week was ready to sign the Regional Economic Integration Framework (REIF), which benefits both our countries and the region. We are puzzled by the DRC's last-minute decision not to sign the agreement, given the positive atmosphere of the negotiations during which the text of the REIF was finalized, and the diligent mediation work of Senior Advisor Massad Boulos and the State Department.
On the Peace Agreement, specifically the neutralization of the DRC-backed FDLR and Rwanda lifting defensive measures accordingly, the DRC had refused to proceed until specific actions agreed this past Wednesday during the Joint Oversight Committee meeting, as outlined in the communiquรฉ. https://t.co/ITxB82S6gx
Rwanda believes in the peace agreement and in the approach of the US mediation, and hope that the REIF will eventually be signed. The peace process must succeed. It is the best chance for stability and economic
development for our region.
