“Nuclear energy is increasingly recognised as part of the clean energy transition and that creates new opportunities. What Africa cannot afford is fragmentation. If countries work in isolation, progress will be slow and far more costly. Cooperation on regulation, financing, and regional power integration is essential. This is precisely why NEISA matters.
We are moving the conversation beyond ambition to practical coordination, and financing mechanisms that can sustain deployment at scale. Rwanda will continue supporting these efforts, because this is larger than any one country.” President Kagame | Nuclear Energy Innovation Summit for Africa (NEISA) 2026 - Opening Ceremony

“They are always checking you and putting you in what they call “your right place”. Your right place should be there, in a place that is broken, dependent. Sometimes they show mercy, they have pity on you and lift you up just a little, so that you don’t die, but you don’t heal either.
You are always hospitalized, you come out limping, they let you stagger around for a while, and when you begin to lift your head up, they take you back to the hospital.
That is exactly how Africa is. Why would you accept it. Why don’t you put in place your own way of working, and achieve what you want?
What is stopping us? ” President Kagame | #Umushyikirano2026
This morning at the Kigali Convention Centre, President Kagame chairs this year’s #Umushyikirano, the National Dialogue that brings together Rwandans from across the country for an inclusive exchange with their leaders on the progress of Rwanda’s transformation.
