Today, Prime Minister Nsengiyumva, on behalf of President Paul Kagame, virtually participated in the High-Level Meeting of African Heads of State, Governments and Partners on the Ebola Outbreak.

Highlighting Rwanda’s preparedness, the Prime Minister noted: “Rwanda remains Ebola-free thanks to deliberate investments in preparedness and resilient public health systems. We have strengthened surveillance, screening, laboratory capacity, emergency response mechanisms, and public awareness to safeguard public health.”

“This course was designed to enhance your ability to navigate complex and sometimes, seemingly impossible situations. There are, however, certain qualities that it cannot give you that you must personally cultivate.

The first is courage. You will not always have guarantees, and for some, this can create paralysis. Courage is what enables a leader to act decisively despite uncertainty and competing pressures.

The second is judgement. As your responsibilities increase, so will the consequences of your decisions. Good judgement is developed through experience, collaboration and the humility to learn from mistakes and adjust course when necessary.

The third is purpose, which comes from knowing precisely what you are fighting for. For Rwanda, that purpose is anchored in protecting our people and sovereignty, while advancing the continued transformation of our country.” President Kagame

President Kagame, Commander-in-Chief of the Rwanda Defence Force, presided over the graduation of 108 Senior Officers from Rwanda and across the continent and beyond, who formed the 14th intake of the Senior Command and Staff Course, at RDF Command and Staff College, Nyakinama.

“We owe future generations of Rwandans more than survival. They deserve to inherit a secure, united, and bold country, and an integrated and confident Africa.” President Kagame #Kwibuka32

[Sam @SamanthaTeta]

32 years ago today, something was taken from within us that cannot be described anatomically. I do not know a language that can fully capture that fear, pain, loss, and horror.

By July 1994, Rwanda was shattered in spirit, and in the most practical sense. So when people tell us what we should tolerate, or ignore, I want them to understand that baseline, and what starting from scratch truly took.

I also want them to consider what it says about this country and its people, that we are here today, with what we have built together.

Our rebuilding is, at its heart, an act of remembrance. It is about being alive again and so present, so capable, so impossible to ignore that denial itself becomes the small thing.

To those who survived: You’re here, what a gift. You were Rwanda when Rwanda almost wasn’t. Thank you for holding on, and for telling us what you could find the words for.

To those who were taken from us so brutally: you are not lost to us. You are in everything that is beautiful. You are in the children. You are in the soft evening breeze, and the first light of dawn.

You are in the hills, where your laughter was last heard. And we remember you. Always.

“The past year, 2025, brought significant growth and opportunity for our country, alongside real challenges. I thank all Rwandans for your trust and cooperation this year.

Throughout our journey, we have turned obstacles into opportunities, and emerged stronger. We must never lose sight of where we have come from, and we always carry this resolve forward, as we continue building.

The future we deserve is within reach. We must stay the course, remain positive, and continue aiming higher.” President Kagame | End of Year Message. Watch here: https://t.co/XA1CWNyC1Y

“I do not know of any nation with citizens better than ours.

I say this because of where we have come from: divisionist politics, genocide. And yet we have reached a point where our people stand together, even as the world keeps trying to take them back to that history.

The first place where outsiders who seek to destroy us have failed is with our citizens. They tried to divide Rwandans again, to create conflict among them, but our people resisted—and those efforts failed.” Chairman Kagame | 17th RPF Congress

[Presidency | Rwanda @UrugwiroVillage]

“You should be thinking independently, individually, but most importantly, act collectively. That is when it becomes meaningful and yields results. Each one of us here has personal concerns and our own lives, but our gathering reminds us that there is so much we share. So it is in our actions that we must be united.

This does not stop anyone from thinking for themselves, or handling their personal matters as they wish. This is where two things meet, what concerns us individually and what concerns all of us collectively, that we understand we must serve Rwandans and everyone who lives in Rwanda.” Chairman Kagame | 17th RPF Congress

Difficult but vital listening from 2:20. A historic statement that no one should ignore. There is no caveat to the human right to exist and it should be obvious. By now.
