“When we started this journey, we committed ourselves to be self-reliant, as individuals and as a country, so that our existence would not depend on luck, or on the goodwill of others who might choose to help us today and withdraw tomorrow, with harmful consequences, as you all know.
Self-reliance, therefore, is our main priority, it is our objective, and it is a responsibility that belongs to all of us, one that everyone of us must embrace and work towards.” President Kagame | #Umushyikirano2026
A speech delivered by HE @PaulKagame more than a decade ago, but still relevant to the regional problems at hand and how the international community chooses to deal with them.

" -Tshisekedi is capable of everything, except measuring the consequences of what he says as a leader of a country that is itself a serious problem —Tell me why why wouldn’t i take his threats of attacking Rwanda,bombing Kigali ,changing Rwandan government,seriously?
-when we learned that Burundi was deploying soldiers in DRC through a clandestine operation, I called Burundian president telling him that supporting Kinshasa & FDLR on our border would be threatening us,and he lied to me that Burundi was not deploying troops to Goma,two weeks later it was on news.
- what unites Tshisekedi,FDLR and Ndayishimiye of Burundi is primitivit/ primitive politics,played based on ethnicity,how wouldn’t we consider people who embrace hate speech, a hateful ideology as existential threat to us ?
