You are doing an incredible job — may you continue contributing to #LessonsfromRwanda with courage, dedication, creativity, and wisdom, and enjoy continued success. Art is a powerful tool for diplomacy, history education, and learning in general, and your work beautifully brings all these elements together. 🙏🏾
Artists are cultural diplomats. Through their works and through conversation, they inform people about the real situations of their nations in ways that are deeper than we often imagine. People believe artists not only because of what they create, but because of how they think, speak, and question the world.
People raise social, political, and economic questions. Their responses are not confrontational; they are shaped by natural diplomacy, rooted in truth, a lived experience and a little creativity.
Last year, for example, an attorney general from one of the states in America visited me at @MuseumIngabo . We started talking, and soon the questions came: What’s happening in Congo? How did it start? Where are we now? Of course, I couldn’t respond, “I don’t know.” I explained from the defeat of the ex-FAR to how Mobutu ignored international law by allowing armed ex-FAR to cross the border, leading to continued aggression against Tutsis. No microphone, no stage, just honest conversation.
That’s art diplomacy at work. 😄😂
Remember this: when radical artists have no problem with their leaders, it is often because the leader is doing the right thing.
Empower artists. Send them to good universities. Help them understand the current realities of their countries and their communities. Just make sure they’re on the same caliber as the people they meet every day because you never know when an artist will be talking to a minister, a judge… or someone who thought they were just “coming to see paintings or installations.’’
ARTISTS ARE NATION BUILDERS TOO!

Last Tuesday, we were honoured to stand with Camden Council for #HolocaustMemorialDay. Through her courage and testimony, survivor speaker @u_mariechantal powerfully brought this year’s theme, #BridgingGenerations, to life. Thank you @CamdenCouncil. #HMD2026 #LessonsFromRwanda
As part of the International Day of Genocide Prevention, today we are sharing Rwanda’s journey of resilience and the lessons from the Genocide against the Tutsi with students at Aurora City School District in Ohio, USA. #GenocidePrevention #LessonsFromRwanda #EducationForPeace
▶️As we celebrate #Easter today, let’s reflect on the #LessonsFromRwanda.
31 years ago, thousands were killed in churches—by fellow Christians. This Easter, we honour them and say: never again.
Don't say that to Belgium and others with a Mpatsibihugu mindset! #LessonsFromRwanda
Other nations should learn from Rwanda’s governance model. Actions are louder than words. #RwandaWorks
This is not just revisionist—it is an insult to the memory of my brother, cousin, and over a million Tutsi who were abandoned to die.
We remember. We honour. And we speak the truth.

Last Tuesday, we joined the London Borough of Camden to commemorate HMD 2025, sharing #LessonsFromRwanda with attendees at Camden Town Hall in London. Genocide survivor and Ishami speakers team member @Iam_MarieRose shared her powerful story of surviving at just 11 years old.
#LessonsFromRwanda: Given the challenges posed by inappropriate materials, such as Hotel Rwanda, often used in Western schools to teach about the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, it is imperative to develop accurate and authentic educational resources.
Earlier this week, during my sessions with students from Aurora High School in Ohio, on the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, I was disappointed to learn that the teacher had been using the controversial film Hotel Rwanda&its accompanying book to prepare her students.

Thank you, Madam Ambassador. I deeply appreciate your kind words and totally agree that helping the world better understand the history of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi and learning from the #LessonsFromRwanda requires collective and determined efforts.
Thank you, @e_murangwa, for your contribution to sharing the history of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. This journey requires collective effort to ensure truth prevails & counter false narratives. I am grateful to Aurora HS for providing the platform.
the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. I hope other schools interested in teaching about Rwanda will also adopt these and other resources that provide accurate and comprehensive information. #LessonsFromRwanda

Thank you to the panelists and attendees who made the 100 Days, 100 Stories launch at @KingsCollegeLon so special. Together, we honour the past and inspire a future built on understanding, resilience, and hope. #100Stories #LessonsFromRwanda
It also underscores the immense challenges of recovery, reconciliation, and healing. Building a Rwanda free from the shadow of Genocide remains a monumental task—one that demands continued effort from every Rwandan and friends of Rwanda. #100Days100Stories #LessonsFromRwanda
