To the young people of #Rwanda, being young is not enough. You cannot afford to waste any opportunity. Do not let the fear of failure or taking risks stand in the way of who you can be. Claim your rightful place in the world, no one will hand it to you

"Bad actors must not be allowed to hide behind the principle of sovereignty, to evade responsibility for abuses, or deny citizens their rights."

President Kagame calls on African institutions to act decisively when Africans are at risk. #RBANews #Kwibuka32

🕯️ ‘Kwibuka’ means ‘to remember’.

Today we mark the 32nd commemoration of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda.

When we’re trying to make up for our sins, what we’re really saying is, “Jesus didn’t finish everything on the cross. I’ve got to pay for this one.” The truth is your blood wouldn’t do any good. It was the spotless sinless blood of the lamb that paid the price in full.

Protecting #Rwanda is a badge of honour which the Rwanda Defense Force carries very proudly.

[Yolande Makolo 🇷🇼 @YolandeMakolo]

“a word given cannot be perpetually broken, and the brazen contempt for human lives cannot endure.” No one can argue with this - but above the noise, this is the reality:

The Government of the DRC remains the #1 backer of FDLR, which is an existential threat to Rwanda. No matter how many lies and resources are invested into propaganda to distract from DRC state sponsorship of the FDLR, this problem is not going away.

One-sided sanctions unfortunately only serve to embolden the Government of the DRC in its insistence on a military solution. The result is what we see now: prolongation of the conflict, escalation of violence, lost opportunities and importantly, lost lives

Also not going away is the internal situation in the DRC: the AFC/M23 is fighting persecution based on the policies of the Government of DRC that support proponents of genocide ideology (the recent inflammatory rhetoric by FARDC General Ekenge on national TV is one of too many examples) - this is the root of the extremist ethnic violence which threatens our whole region.

These facts cannot be distorted or overlooked in the search for a solution to the crisis.

The way forward to lasting peace and progress is already laid out in agreements reached in the past year, including the comprehensive Washington Accords, but the DRC appears more interested in continued war than in implementing its obligations in the peace processes.

@KambaMbulu Rwanda is not what it is because of exploiting Congo, hence Congo that has the minerals is not like Rwanda. Rwanda is the way it is because of visionary leadership.

What’s holding Africans back? President Kagame asked.

Prof. Murigande told Kagame that the main reason is that African leaders don’t care about their people. They seek to enrich themselves — to eat, and to eat alone. The president agreed with him, but he pressed further, asking why this problem seems peculiar to Africa.

Kagame doesn’t ask rhetorical questions. He has identified a problem and is involving Rwandans in finding a solution.

Here’s my take:

To overcome challenges like those faced by postcolonial societies, a people must rediscover a sense of collective self-worth. Usually, this comes from the memory of their past achievements— who they were as a people informs who they are and who they aspire to be.

While Africa was not the only region to experience colonization, it is one of the few where colonialism either erased the memory of past greatness or created new countries with no shared memory of such greatness.

Colonisation captured African minds. In that sense, although Africa was colonised last, it was colonised the worst.

Colonial education deepened this alienation, distorting African aspirations, turning them from collective to individual.

In the 1950s, the small group of “educated” African elites aspired to join the white world : the colonial administration. Today, with colonial education still intact and keeping African minds in chains, the elites it creates do not aspire to uplift their people; they aspire to join the global elite. They don’t seek to improve their own societies; they seek to escape from them.

Accordingly, these elites measure their self-worth by:

•how fluently they speak foreign languages,
•which foreign schools they send their children to,
•which foreign hospitals they can afford,
•how many houses they build, and how much money they invest abroad.

At the heart of this lies a quiet acceptance that Africans are somehow defective as a people, and that the only way to succeed is individually. Even those who once believed they could change things often abandon the quest for collective improvement once they grasp the scale of the effort it demands.

The kind of heavy lifting required for real transformation breeds a sense of hopelessness, one that pushes people from collective ambition toward individual greed.

So, the individual’s aspiration becomes to join the global bourgeoisie. But these are strategies of self-evacuation. They are attempts to flee backwardness by moving from the rural village to the capital, then on to the enlightened colonial metropolis, and ultimately to disappear into cosmopolitan anonymity - a form of self erasure rather than a search for self restoration.

This journey became the measure of progress. Those who remain in Africa do so with one foot already out (through dual citizenship or close connections to the representatives of their desired metropoles) for themselves, and especially for their children.

Although Kagame brings up this topic, it has been a theme he turns to whenever he notices that some ethic is creeping in amongst the leaders, only that this time he is more specific.

For example, while he has been teaching agaciro as a form of mental decolonization, most people over the years understood agaciro merely as a material pursuit.

Yet agaciro is, at its core, about retracing and reclaiming the memory of self-worth and therefore the basis for collective pursuit.
