I’m convinced there’s a Kicukiro babe/guy who broke the heart of the @reg_rwanda technician managing the Kicukiro–Kagarama power line. These power outages don’t seem normal anymore, it is starting to look personal. 😂

Basi, we all apologize! Mubabarire ni ukuli. 😭

@RobCyubahiro This felt personal😂😂

Yes it's the same with the new system of @RDBrwanda there are some uploaded documents on the old system that are not found in the new updated platform!!

[Joseph Nkurunziza Ryarasa @JosephRyarasa]

We have consistently used the @rrainfo platform for managing and verifying domestic tax records. However, when attempting to verify tax information dating back to 2023, users are now being redirected to the @CityofKigali SORA system.

The challenge is that the new system does not yet appear to have all the historical data available, making it difficult for taxpayers to access or verify previous records.

As digital systems are upgraded and migrated, it is important to ensure that all relevant data is fully transferred, validated, and accessible before the transition is rolled out to the public. This helps avoid disruptions, improves user experience, and maintains confidence in public service delivery.

A smooth migration process requires not only a new platform but also complete and reliable data continuity. @EmmaClaudine

Unemployment and mental health, the silent crisis facing many young people

A few days ago, i found myself talking to a young man at a social spot in Kigali. He was sitting alone with an Amstel in front of him and seemed in no hurry to leave. I watched him for a while before deciding to start a conversation because he had taken 12 bottles in almost 45 minutes. In most social places you ask for a bottle and they bring 2, so i was able to notice the intervals. What i thought would be a brief exchange ended up staying with me long after we parted ways.

As we talked he told me that he holds a bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry from the University of Rwanda. Like many young graduates, he left university with dreams, expectations and the belief that hard work and education would open doors. Instead, he has spent the last two years looking for a job without success.

The more he spoke, the more i realized that unemployment was affecting much more than just his career. His father lost his job during the economic difficulties that followed the COVID-19 pandemic and the family’s situation became increasingly difficult. Some of his siblings were forced to leave school because there simply was not enough money to keep them there. Listening to him it became clear that behind every unemployment statistic there is often a family struggling to hold things together.

At one point i asked whether he had considered starting a small business, perhaps making soap or producing local beverages because of his academic. His answer was immediate and honest, he told me that he had thought about it many times, but lacked the capital needed to buy raw materials and get started.

That response stayed with me because it highlighted a reality that many young people face. We often encourage entrepreneurship, innovation and self-reliance, but for someone who has no savings, no access to credit and no family resources to fall back on, even the smallest business idea can feel out of reach.

When we talk about unemployment, we usually focus on economic growth, investment levels, labour market figures and employment statistics. Those discussions are important, but they sometimes overlook the human reality behind the numbers. We rarely stop to think about what it feels like for a young person to wake up every day with qualifications, ambition and energy, yet have nowhere to apply them.

Employment is about much more than earning an income. It provides purpose, routine, social interaction, dignity and a sense of belonging. It allows people to contribute to their families and to feel that they are moving forward in life. When meaningful employment remains out of reach for months or even years, the consequences can be profound.

Confidence gradually fades and anxiety about the future grows. Family pressures increase. Some young people begin to withdraw from social circles, while others turn to alcohol or other unhealthy coping mechanisms in an attempt to escape feelings of frustration and disappointment. The issue is no longer just about money, it becomes a question of self-worth, identity and hope.

This is why the connection between unemployment and mental health deserves far more attention than it often receives. Studies conducted around the world have consistently shown that people who experience prolonged unemployment are more likely to struggle with stress, anxiety, depression and other mental health challenges. The longer someone remains unemployed, the greater the risk that these challenges will affect their wellbeing and outlook on life.

The young man i met is certainly not alone. Across our communities there are many educated, capable and hardworking young people carrying similar burdens in silence. Most are not looking for handouts, they are looking for opportunities, whether through employment, internships, apprenticeships, mentorship, affordable credit, or support to turn their ideas into viable businesses.

The way forward is to continue having important conversations about mental health, we should remember that creating economic opportunities is part of that conversation. Employment is not only an economic issue, it is also a social and mental health issue. When young people are given meaningful opportunities to work, earn a living and build a future, we are doing more than strengthening the economy. We are helping to restore hope, preserve dignity, strengthen families, and protect the wellbeing of an entire generation.

On the International Day of Reflection on the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi in Rwanda, we mourn the victims & pay tribute to the survivors.

We must learn from past failures & protect the living — by rejecting hatred, inflammatory rhetoric & incitement to violence.
