🆕Today, Rwanda commenced construction of its new National Veterinary Reference Laboratory in Kigali. The BSL-3 laboratory will address a critical gap in the nation’s #healthsecurity architecture by enabling rapid and accurate diagnosis of zoonotic and transboundary animal diseases.

@Pandemic_Fund is honored to support Rwanda through the Strengthening Pandemic Prevention and Response Through One Health Approach in Rwanda project. Rwanda is establishing a new benchmark for health security in the region and building resilient systems to safeguard communities and livelihoods for generations to come.

𝗥𝗪𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗔 𝗜𝗦 𝗔 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗩𝗘𝗟.

President Kagame and the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) have accomplished an extraordinary transformation in Rwanda. Despite having one of the smallest GDPs in Africa, the Rwandan government has built impressive institutions, clean and beautiful cities, and infrastructure that extends even to rural areas. Pedestrian walkways, electrified interstate roads, robust healthcare systems, and a formidable national defense are testaments to their dedication.

It's evident that Rwanda's limited resources are being utilized efficiently for nation-building rather than lining individual pockets. The Rwandans operate with a collective ethos reminiscent of a kingdom, where the individual's interests are secondary to the collective good.

This collective approach has instilled a level of patriotism rarely seen in Africa, paralleled only by Ethiopia. Rwandan ministers exhibit an unparalleled focus on advancing their nation, in contrast to many counterparts across the continent who often prioritize personal interests over national well-being.

Africans have much to learn from Rwanda, and it's now clear why some external forces have historically, and currently, view the nation's royal bloodlines and ruling elite as a threat, fearing they might inspire transformative change across the continent.

Across the border, the M23 has introduced Rwanda style 'muganda'—a community cleanup initiative—in Goma. Residents have embraced this practice, cleaning their homes and city collectively.

This spirit of unity is so compelling that citizens of Bukavu reportedly ousted Congolese officials to embrace the Congo River Alliance as their interim governors, even before M23's arrived to fire a shot in the city.

Upon M23's entry into Bukavu, the community immediately began collective cleaning efforts, mirroring Goma. Rwanda’s cultural influence appears both unifying and contagious, leading to reports of calls in Kinshasa for M23 to assume control.

It’s a cultural revolution that is challenging the enduring influence of 'Françafrique' in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Congo-Brazzaville, and potentially West Africa. This emulation of Rwandan practices and discipline by M23, has led to accusations that M23 is Rwanda invading its neighbor; yet it is merely cultural influence.

With the Sahel region now free from French influence, the convergence of their movement with Rwanda's culture of colonial resistance, threatens to dismantle 'Françafrique', which could have profound implications for France. This context explains why Canada, Belgium, and France—all members of the Francophonie, currently led by Rwandan Louise Mushikiwabo—have rushed to sanction Rwanda in an effort to bring it back into the fold.

Reflecting on this, it seems Rwanda is not merely led by a political party but by a modern version of the traditional royal council, encompassing all social classes—Twa, Hutu, and Tutsi—and headed by a paramount leader (the nephew of a traditional queen) who ascended to power by liberating, uniting, and restoring the traditional Rgwandan kingdom that was once fragmented.

Understanding this dynamic clarifies why the paramount leader, his council, the army, and the citizens are united and willing to defend Rgwanda to the death.

It is out of the spirit of reconciliation and forgiveness that took the nation out of its dark past, that I was welcomed, treated with exceptional hospitality, and allowed to leave in one piece, despite having been a threat to their national security and hard-won unity. I am profoundly grateful for the mercy of the Rwandan people and once again apologize for my errors.

Now, I comprehend why adversaries strive to prevent this small nation from rising to heal the heart of Africa by finding peace with its neighbor Congo. Because once the two come together as King Kigeri V Ndahindurwa and Lemumba did on the 30th June 1960, when they took down the Belgian flag, Africa will be united forever.

[Stephanie Nyombayire @PressSecRwanda]

Rwanda’s real crime is taking our destiny into our own hands. How dare we protect our security without asking for permission? How dare we think that a dignified, peaceful country is something we deserve?

What is encouraged is the kind of leadership that abdicates any responsibility for its own people, calls on everyone else but themselves to solve their problems and shamelessly sells its dignity to the highest bidder.

An army unpaid, hundreds of mercenaries (rebranded as paramilitaries), genocidaires and soldiers from 4 different countries killing DRC citizens, a President that openly calls for the overthrow of Rwanda’s government, ministers calling for ethnic cleansing, looting of national resources at an unprecedented scale…and somehow not ONE call for DRC’s accountability.

Rwanda is blamed for DRC’s failure of governance, evident on the ENTIRETY of the territory of the 2nd largest country on the continent, not because it is true, but because our quest for self determination is unacceptable.

A few points on recent developments in the Marburg response:

- We’ve sequenced the virus genomes from three branches of a single cluster.

- Using genomic tools, we found that all sequences share a single zoonotic origin, meaning the virus jumped from animal to human just once.
