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%.
When you cosplay as a leader but rescind & backtrack on every promise/agreement, do you assume the public suffers from collective amnesia, or is that just another feature of the delusional package?

To those who are annoyed that we are commemorating the genocide against the tutsi for the 31st time , fasten your seat belts. We shall hold many more commemorations! It is our duty, our detrrmination!
As we approach the 31st Commemoration of the 1994 Genocide Against The Tutsi. Here’s a list but not limited to; the signs that someone may be trying to belittle or deny the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi:
Never could I have imagined that genocide survivors would live to witness Belgium and Germany sanctioning Rwanda for defending ourselves from the bloody legacy of a sham independence they left us with in 1962.
Our right to exist as a country, as a people, is non negotiable and indisputable in all of its forms. We have lost everything before to ever let it happen again. The DRC on the other hand, has always put itself up for sale to the highest bidder. We are not the same.
You people hate Paul Kagame because the picture of him and all he has done for his country remind you of your fundamental inadequacies you incompetent underachieving individuals he’s a mirror to your limits and you can’t stand it
I held two conversations this week with President Ramaphosa on the situation in Eastern DRC, including earlier today. What has been said about these conversations in the media by South African officials and President Ramaphosa himself contains a lot of distortion, deliberate attacks, and even lies. If words can change so much from a conversation to a public statement, it says a lot about how these very important issues are being managed.
A few important clarifications for the record:
1. The Rwanda Defence Force is an army, not a militia.
2. SAMIDRC is not a peacekeeping force, and it has no place in this situation. It was authorized by SADC as a belligerent force engaging in offensive combat operations to help the DRC Government fight against its own people, working alongside genocidal armed groups like FDLR which target Rwanda, while also threatening to take the war to Rwanda itself.
3. SAMIDRC displaced a true peacekeeping force, the East African Community Regional Force, and this contributed to the failure of the negotiation processes.
4. President Ramaphosa has never given a "warning" of any kind, unless it was delivered in his local language which I do not understand. He did ask for support to ensure the South African force has adequate electricity, food and water, which we shall help communicate.
5. President Ramaphosa confirmed to me that M23 did not kill the soldiers from South Africa, FARDC did.
6. If South Africa wants to contribute to peaceful solutions, that is well and good, but South Africa is in no position to take on the role of a peacemaker or mediator. And if South Africa prefers confrontation, Rwanda will deal with the matter in that context any day.
