🇰🇪 H.E. Dr. William Samoei Ruto arrives in Kigali with a message the continent has been waiting for.
🔙 Just days ago in Nairobi, co-hosting the Africa Forward Summit alongside President Emmanuel Macron, Kenya's Head of State drew a line under decades of donor logic and called for something far more ambitious: an Africa that finances Africa. He pointed to over 4 trillion dollars in long-term domestic savings already sitting on the continent, including more than 1 trillion in pension and insurance assets and over 500 billion dollars in central bank reserves, and asked the only question that matters. Why are these resources still waiting for someone else's permission to build the continent?
💡 His answer is structural. Through Kenya's National Infrastructure Fund, already capitalised at around 1 billion dollars, he is testing a model designed to crowd private capital into the corridors, ports, energy systems and digital backbones that will turn the AfCFTA from protocol into market. The thesis is unambiguous: "Africa cannot trade effectively with itself while its economies remain disconnected."
🌍 In Kigali, that same conviction lands at the heart of the Africa CEO Forum 2026 conversation, where pan-African ownership, green industrialisation and the mobilisation of domestic capital are no longer side debates but the main stage. From the Silicon Savannah he has helped engineer to the climate finance reform he has pushed through every multilateral forum that will listen, President Ruto embodies a generation of African leadership that has stopped asking and started building.
🎯 His presence on the presidential panel sets the tone for two days that will define how the continent moves from 4 trillion dollars in potential to 4 trillion dollars in motion.
📍 Kigali, 14-15 May 2026.

Meanwhile the "FDLR is a spent force" argument fails to understand this isn't about its size. If a core group of Nazi orchestrators of the Holocaust fled to Poland & rearmed, no one would've said, "Oh but it's only a few of them." #FDLR's mere existence is the problem. 2/2

As survivors share their painful testimonies, as the country remembers the Genocide against the Tutsi, the @nytimes found it fit to publish a piece blaming the victims for causing it and “not doing enough” to stop it.
To be clear:
1.The only causes of the Genocide against the Tutsi are those who carried it out and those who supported them, turned revisionists and apologists today. Welcome to the club Anjan, you can take your seat alongside the latter.
2.The RPA/RPF put an end to the Genocide against the Tutsi. NO ONE else.
3.Contrary to popular NYT belief, our utmost national ambition is not western approval or any other euphemism for “Africans need supervision.” If you care to know, it is actually transforming the lives of citizens, with actions, not articles.
4.Our past has taught us that our future can only be defined by Rwandans. “Nobody will ever decide for us how to live our lives.”- President Kagame
