“I commend all police officers, past and present, whose courage and dedication have enabled Rwandans to live and work in safety and dignity.

Beyond our borders, these qualities continue to distinguish you in international peace support operations.

The achievements made so far, are a result of strong cooperation with partners, fellow security organs, and above all, the unwavering support of Rwandans.

This spirit of collaboration is a strength that must be continually nurtured, and bolstered.” President Kagame | 25th Anniversary of Rwanda National Police and Officer Cadets Commissioning Ceremony

Ce moment suspendu où la salle Debussy du @CannesPalais s'est complètement tue pour écouter "Humura Rwanda" (de Kamaliza) entonnée spontanément et dancée par les actrices/staff du film "Ben'Imana" suite à l'émotion palpable créée par le film dans le public😍.
Magique, tout simplement!

Oui, Humura Rwanda, ntacyo tuzaba pe! Burya ntibuzongera✊🏼

“Felicien Kabuga escaped judgment not through innocence but through sheer time, bought by powerful networks that helped him evade capture. A trial would not merely have judged Kabuga. It would have exposed the governments and people who enabled him, shielded him, moved him across borders, and benefited from his silence.” By Alice Wairimu Nderitu https://t.co/32ZEyGPHEk

Today at Urugwiro Village, President Kagame met with President Mamadi Doumbouya of the Republic of Guinea, who is in Rwanda where he attended the opening of the Africa CEO Forum 2026.

“I think private sector is doing a good job, in fact, it is ahead of the public sector. They are actually, to some level, hustlers.

They are able to go through some of the barriers that are created by the public sector, but if those barriers were not there, the private sector would be far ahead of where they are, and along with that, the continent would be ahead of where we are.

Those of us in the public sector need to fine tune our responsibilities towards allowing the private sector to be the engine that they are, and should be, and all of us would benefit.” President Kagame | Opening Ceremony of the Africa CEO Forum 2026 #ACF2026

[Africa CEO Forum @africaceoforum]

🎙️ @PaulKagame took the Africa CEO Forum stage and spoke plainly about what much of the world still finds difficult to name.

🗣️ His charge was clear. The same global powers that lecture Africa on democracy and human rights are, with the other hand, stripping the continent of what it owns. Sanctions, he reminded the room, are not always the instruments of principle they claim to be; more often they reward the highest bidder, falling on whoever offers less and sparing whoever extracts more. The cynicism, he noted, is not new. In an older century, kings handed territories to their in-laws and children to administer as they pleased, and today the same logic operates under different vocabulary, with a foreign power simply telling a chosen proxy to go and take whatever it wants from a given region.

💎 The deeper point landed hardest. For too long, Africa has played the role of a continent waiting to be ripped off by anyone shrewd enough and powerful enough to arrive at its door, and that posture has to end. "We must be able to say no," the Rwandan President insisted, before urging African leaders, public and private, to begin assigning their own value to their own assets rather than accepting whatever value others choose to recognise.

🌍 It is the question this year's ACF places at the very centre of its programme. Pan-African ownership, resource sovereignty, and the refusal to mistake openness for vulnerability are no longer aspirational language. They are the operating conditions for whatever African economic future emerges from the next decade. Kagame's intervention was not a lament about the world as it is, but a call to the continent's leadership to stop negotiating from a position of permanent disadvantage.

President Kagame attended the opening of the #AfricaForward Summit, co-hosted by Kenya and France, which brought together Heads of State, business leaders, and innovators.

[AISCA @AISCAfrica]

We built AISCA because less than 1% of the world's AI computers are in Africa.

That locks out African innovators.

𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐱𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭.

Today, we open the 𝐀𝐈𝐒𝐂𝐀 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐖𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭.

You get: Sovereign compute on African soil. Via Cassava Technologies. Technical assistance.
For African AI innovators and researchers.

𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫?

- AI builders in agriculture, health, education, finance, creative economy.

- Researchers who need compute to move from papers to products.

- Young Africans with ideas and no infrastructure.

We are just starting out. This is our first cohort. Spots are limited

Thank you to my sister President @SuluhuSamia for the warm welcome to Tanzania and for the productive discussions.

Rwanda and Tanzania are not only neighbors but brotherly countries bound by history and a shared goal of prosperity for our people. Rwanda remains committed to building on this strong foundation by deepening our bilateral cooperation across trade, investment, infrastructure, logistics, energy, and regional integration.

I look forward to continuing our collaboration to achieve tangible results for our citizens and advance the East African Community.

“We find these powers who want to impress upon us that we really don’t have much, we don’t mean much, we can only survive because of them. This notion has to be challenged, and has to be challenged by all of us.” President Kagame #WPC2026

Dear Survivor,

Your testimony stays with us — the small, impossible choices you were forced to make as a child.

Giving away the little money you had, hoping it might save a sibling.
Wearing layers of clothing, prepared for nights in the cold.
Being told to run in different directions — trusting that, God willing, you would meet again.

We also remember those who, though not targeted, chose to risk everything to protect others — affirming, even in the darkest moments, the possibility of humanity.

These are not just memories. They are truths that shape our collective responsibility.

As President @PaulKagame reminded us on 7 April, your strength is a reservoir of humanity that continues to define who we are.

Your loved ones live on in our memory, and in every step this country takes forward.

May you find moments of peace, and the strength to continue, at your own pace.
