Our favorite Karen (& her props) appears positively panicked that Africans might have political opinions about issues that affect them—and worse, the same platform she uses to express them. This is a shady attempt to police Rwandan voices, not an “investigation.” It is 2026, Africans are political, Rwandans can talk back, not just be talked about. We also just talk among ourselves sometimes.
“As young people, we need you. We love you. But first and foremost, take care of yourselves.
This religion of alcohol, I think people even recruit others into it. Alcohol is killing you. It’s killing young people. The older ones are already gone. It has killed so many older people like us. Others are already on that same path and seem unable to stop.
But I want to warn you and beg you: everything we have been talking about, what brought you here, and the plans we have for our country, this thing will kill you before you realise your ambitions.” President Kagame |#MeetThePresident Indangamirwa 16th Cohort

“I hear what is popular among young people these days: vibes. I have nothing against good vibes. Vibes are not just for young people. Even those of us who are older can enjoy them. But if we are going to enjoy the vibes, we must have something solid to stand on, please. Don’t invest in vibes, invest in the foundation where you can now vibe. Because if there is no foundation, it won’t last.
We want things that are sustainable. We want to build a society that is resilient. You can’t built a society that is resilient on vibes. But a resilient society can vibe.” President Kagame, Chairman of the RPF | RPF Bureau Politique.
“There is one sure way of making a difference. Keep trying, even when you fail, try again. Be stubborn about trying.
Don't go away, even if some people would wish you to go away, just refuse. You stay and say, I am not going anywhere. I will just try until I get it right.” President Kagame, Chairman of the RPF, closing remarks at the RPF Extended Bureau Politique meeting that brought together over 2,000 participants to discuss ways to sustain the party’s vision over the next 30 years.
“To the young people, once again, this country expects a lot from you. And when I say the country, I mean you. You are, in fact, waiting for yourselves. You are the future you are looking toward. But it comes back to the process I was talking about, the mindset, the spirit, and everything else I mentioned, education and health. You must have knowledge, and you must have good health. Because if you are not healthy, what use is knowledge? What good is knowing anything if you do not have the health to make use of it? You must have both. And it is entirely possible to have both, if you make the choice to pursue both. It cannot be one without the other.
It is like raising a child, or planting a tree. You plant the seed, and as it grows, you continue giving it what it needs in order to thrive. It is the same with people. You need knowledge, and you should do everything possible to acquire it. But not simply to possess it. You must be able to use that knowledge to achieve the goals you have set for yourselves.” President Kagame, Chairman of the RPF | RPF Bureau Politique.
“Making people just shut up is going to be more difficult than people think. Telling us shut up, we will support those who want to come and kill you, like they killed you last time, and we will handle it the way we want. The only way to make me shut up is when I am dead. That's it.
Belittling everything and making it look like some people's lives are worth more than others. That is not my politics. It is not RPF's politics.
We are a small country. Very insignificant in many ways. You can harm to us but wishing us away is not a small thing.
When they said they would make the M23 disappear, they meant even Rwanda, we will make you disappear. Well, I can't invite it. I can't wish to have such a thing. But when it comes, when I have not been able to avoid it, I think they will find [us ready].” President Kagame, Chairman of the RPF | RPF Bureau Politique.
“Had Rwanda not stood up and taken responsibility and brought ourselves this far, we would be nothing. There would still be people coming to feed us.
When others complement what you are already trying to do, that is a good thing. But if you have done nothing yourself, if you have achieved nothing on your own, then you become nothing.
That is why we should always look back and remember. It helps guide us, including in the way we engage with others, whether in our region or beyond.
Most of you here are probably between the ages of 20 and 45.
Those who have gone before you are people who can look back and say : we did what we could. We gave everything we had, and this is the contribution we made. I am talking about those who fought for this country, and whose sacrifice made it possible for Rwanda to become what it is today.
Now, it is your time. I am speaking to you, the young people. Don’t wait until you are 70 and then start asking yourself: what did I do? I wish I had known. Take it seriously, understand it, and when you leave here today, act on it.” President Kagame, Chairman of the RPF | RPF Bureau Politique.
