“For decades, Rwanda was shaped by a deliberate system of exclusion, fear, and division. The purpose of the liberation struggle was to restore what had been taken away: the right of Rwandans to live in dignity.
However, the ideas behind the genocide have not disappeared completely. They persist in different forms, and remain present across our region. We have seen, and suffered too much to ever take this threat lightly.
Security and good governance are the foundation of everything we have built. Security is a matter of survival, not external approval. Without it, nothing else holds together. That is why we remain vigilant and firm.
What happened here will never happen again, for one simple reason: we will not allow it.”President Kagame | #Kwibohora32
Pour la 32ème fois: Période de commémoration du génocide perpétré contre les Tutsi:
Que la GRATITUDE et la RESILIENCE soient notre plus belle expression de cette vie où nous avons été repêchés de la mort! Que nos chers emportés reposent toujours en paix!
This morning at the launch of the Rwanda FinTech Centre, Minister @MusoniPaula reflected on Rwanda’s progress in digital finance, noting that while financial inclusion has surpassed 90%, the next priority is ensuring fintech innovation can scale and deliver solutions that respond to the needs of businesses and communities.
“I’m hoping that we move beyond the launch to real implementation, real progress and real impact. We move from pilots in our fintech ecosystem to scalable initiatives, and from individual efforts to coordinated ecosystem growth.”
This morning, Min. @JoNsengimana opens the National Research Conference on Re-thinking Higher Education as a Catalyst for Research and Innovation in Rwanda.
The gathering brings together policymakers, researchers, academics, and development partners to explore bold ideas on how universities and research institutions can power innovation and national transformation. Outcomes from the dialogue will help shape Rwanda’s five-year strategic direction for higher education.
As the country advances toward a knowledge-based economy, investing in research, partnerships, and innovation remains central to building a resilient and future-ready education system.

“This is not the first, nor the last wave of technological progress, that Africa and the world will witness.
We continue to be reminded that science and technology, are powerful engines of creativity and performance, that are not here to replace anyone.
Almost always, humanity has been better for it.
Let’s make the most of these times.”
President Kagame speaks at the opening of Transform Africa Summit 2025 #TAS2025 and chairs Smart Africa Board Meeting.
“The true test of our progress, will be how we execute and scale these projects to create measurable outcomes.
As always, collaboration between governments, industries, academia and development partners, will create a stronger momentum for Africa to prosper in the digital economy.
Every delay takes away Africa’s credibility, and every fulfilled commitment, accelerates delivery on the ground. Let’s continue working together.”
Earlier today in Conakry, President Kagame chaired the 12th Smart Africa Board Meeting to discuss key priorities including artificial intelligence and the ongoing work of the Smart Africa Alliance. #TAS2025

“We have the knowledge, we have the vision, we have everything. We have resources, and we have organizations. Africa should be far ahead of where we are now and we shouldn't take any comfort that some progress has been made here or there. We just need to do what we have to do. And we have all the means to do it.” President Kagame | #ACF2025
Je t'écris ces quelques mots pour honorer ta force, ton courage et ta résilience.
Pour le #Rwanda actuel, tu es témoin que même dans l'obscurité, le dénis, l'exclusion et l'injustice, "Ubupfura" et "Ubunyarwanda" prévalent et qu'il faut s'y attacher acharnément.#Kwibuka31 (2/2)
