@SudSilva4@KamogaMunawa Us and Mexico??? You must be dumb to compare the relationship between the US and Mexico to Rwanda and Uganda like that. Where does your brain even get the courage to make such a comparison? Read some history books, then youοΏ½οΏ½οΏ½ll get the answer.

EU SIDELINES BELGIUMβS ANTI-RWANDA AGENDA WHILE WASHINGTON QUIETLY REVERSES COURSE ON SANCTIONING RWANDA DEFENSE FORCE
Belgiumβs latest push inside the EU to block financial support linked to Rwandaβs Mozambique deployment has quietly collapsed. Instead of cutting support, EU is redesigning the mechanism, with funding now expected to pass through Mozambique or EU energy companies invested in Cabo Delgado, potentially covering a larger share of RDF security costs. In effect, the EU is not stopping the support as per Belgium request β but increasing it instead.
At the same time, TotalEnergies and ExxonMobil reportedly pushed Washington to shield RDF operations in Mozambique from recent U.S. sanctions, warning that billions in LNG investments and regional stability were at stake. Kigali increasingly appears able to leverage the gap between Western political narratives and strategic realities on the ground. #FactsOnRwanda
The entire world is celebrating Arsenal but somehow, in Rwanda we are quite! We are not using this opportunity to remind people why they should Visit Rwanda.
RwandAir and other companies should use this chance to market to the fullest.

Earlier this year, when the US imposed sanctions on some Rwandan generals, many celebrated it as a sign that the US had fallen out with Rwanda. Well, just yesterday Rwanda became one of the first African countries to sign an MOU for Strategic Civil Nuclear Cooperation with the US. Thatβs a huge endorsement of their relationship.
What people need to understand is that Rwanda is too strategic for the US to dump. The Department of Defence has invested in Rwandaβs Trinity Nyakabingo tungsten mine, which is the 6th largest tungsten mine in the world and on track to become number 2 in the next year or two.
This also shows that the positive story we told about Rwanda in 2025 was a strong one that the western world bought into. Dangote has also listed Rwanda among the five most attractive investment destinations in Africa. When capital speaks, money follows.
ποΈ @PaulKagame took the Africa CEO Forum stage and spoke plainly about what much of the world still finds difficult to name.
π£οΈ His charge was clear. The same global powers that lecture Africa on democracy and human rights are, with the other hand, stripping the continent of what it owns. Sanctions, he reminded the room, are not always the instruments of principle they claim to be; more often they reward the highest bidder, falling on whoever offers less and sparing whoever extracts more. The cynicism, he noted, is not new. In an older century, kings handed territories to their in-laws and children to administer as they pleased, and today the same logic operates under different vocabulary, with a foreign power simply telling a chosen proxy to go and take whatever it wants from a given region.
π The deeper point landed hardest. For too long, Africa has played the role of a continent waiting to be ripped off by anyone shrewd enough and powerful enough to arrive at its door, and that posture has to end. "We must be able to say no," the Rwandan President insisted, before urging African leaders, public and private, to begin assigning their own value to their own assets rather than accepting whatever value others choose to recognise.
π It is the question this year's ACF places at the very centre of its programme. Pan-African ownership, resource sovereignty, and the refusal to mistake openness for vulnerability are no longer aspirational language. They are the operating conditions for whatever African economic future emerges from the next decade. Kagame's intervention was not a lament about the world as it is, but a call to the continent's leadership to stop negotiating from a position of permanent disadvantage.

#ACF2026 #AfricaCEOForum
A very busy week in East Africa. Kenya is hosting the Africa-France summit, in Uganda the inauguration of the president @NrmMuseveni and Rwanda will be hosting the Africa CEO conference.
Rwanda and Botswana have established a strong mineral partnership, While #Botswana is historically a diamond giant, #Rwanda is a leading global producer of essential tech minerals like tantalum and tungsten.
the two nations have signed six bilateral agreements to remove trade barriers and share expertise in "mineral beneficiation" the process of adding value to raw minerals locally before exporting.
#Rwanda is particularly interested in Botswanaβs successful model of retaining diamond wealth for national development.
Thanks to the visionary leadership of #PerezidaWacu #Kagame
Great match between Visit Rwanda partner teams @Atleti and @Arsenal.
Congratulations to Arsenal FC on the win and qualification for the UEFA Champions League Final. May the best #VisitRwanda partner team win!
