Now for a palate-cleansing reality check in the midst of much malicious posturing:

"Kagame has always been unequivocal about where Rwanda should go. His vision is not driven by nostalgia for a past that no longer serves Africa but by a forward-thinking pragmatism that prioritises self-reliance, technological advancement, and economic resilience.
Unlike many leaders who waver in their convictions for political convenience, Kagame does not bend easily.
This has earned him both admiration and criticism. His leadership is not defined by ideological purity but by a results-oriented pragmatism that prioritises national stability and progress over everything else."
We told western countries many times that, for the past 30 years, the FDLR genocidal force has been a permanent threat to Rwanda, especially as they are now supported by the Congolese government and embedded in the FARDC.
Unfortunately, these world's powers refused to listen to us, arguing that the FDLR combatants are just a bunch of "old and weak" people, and that Rwanda is using them as a pretext to "invade Congo for minerals".
Yet, the FDLR, a movement that has continously recruiting on its genocide ideology, was even supported by @MONUSCO, a 26-year old UN peacekeeping mission that was supposed to neutralize them, as per several UN Security Council resolutions.
And today, a group of FDLR combatants captured on the battlefield (including Brig Gen Ezechiel Gakwerere, one of the murderers of Queen Rosalie Gicanda - here in a FARDC uniform -), were handed over to Rwanda by the AFC/M23, a rebel movement that is doing the very job that the self-righteous international community should have done over the past 30 years.
But guess who they now call the "villain"...
Today at Urugwiro Village, President Kagame received Chi-Man Kwan, Group CEO and Co-Founder of Raffles Family Office who is here to attend the Inclusive Fintech Forum. The discussion focused on Rwanda’s progressive and innovative regulatory framework for financial institutions and the investment opportunities across various sectors.
We are honored to announce that H.E. Paul Kagame, President of the Republic of Rwanda, will attend the 2nd edition of the Inclusive FinTech Forum, taking place February 24-26, 2025, in Kigali.
This global gathering will unite policymakers, investors, entrepreneurs, and regulators to drive meaningful discussions on advancing economic inclusion through technology.
Join us to forge impactful partnerships and take strategic action in shaping the future of fintech and financial inclusion.
Hi here’s my latest piece in @NewTimesRwanda on the #DRC#Congo crisis, specifically targeted at any African unaware of the concerning mediatic manipulations surrounding it all 🙏🏿😘

South African National Defence Force (SANDF) is angry because their government is sacrificing their soldiers over gold in Congo.
Lieutenant General Maomela Motau has spoken to some Rwandan officials who provided him evidence of what's happening in Congo involving the SANDF.
Most high-ranking officials in SA want their soldiers back home.
I thought South African has a lot of gold too! Why sending your troops to protect these gold mines of Congolese elite politicians?!
"Rwandans will never understand why any country would remain intentionally vague about who was targeted in the genocide. Such ambiguity is, in fact, a form of denial, which is a crime in and of itself, and Rwanda will always challenge it." President Kagame | #Kwibuka30
“When it comes to defending this country that has suffered for so long and nobody came to help, we don’t need permission from anybody, to do what we have to do to protect ourselves.” President Kagame chairs #Umushyikirano2024
