“Confronting historical responsibilities requires real courage, because it generates fierce opposition by those with a case to answer. You need a strong sense of humanity to see it through. President Macron, I want to commend you on both counts: courage and humanity.

You acknowledged that France could have stopped the genocide, but did not. In response, I described your words as something more valuable than an apology: namely, the truth. This door was first opened by President Nicolas Sarkozy, and I wish to commend him today.

The Genocide against the Tutsi was foreseeable, and in fact foreseen, and France was in a unique position to observe and to act. It took too long for France to come to terms with its role, causing additional pain. And on some points, we still have not found consensus. I fully understand the feelings of those survivors and advocates, who remain dissatisfied with the official record. But I believe that our common work has initiated a journey towards truth, which is irreversible.

And France was not alone in falling short, far from it. Many other countries did so as well, but none has gone as far as France in setting the record straight and accepting its part in the tragedy.” President Kagame | Inauguration of Monument in Paris honouring the victims of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi.

Here’s is my full quote on Rwanda’s nuclear energy agenda, it was unfortunately chopped up to fit the writer’s storyline:

“Rwanda is working with a variety of global partners to develop our civil nuclear capabilities. In addition to Russian company Rosatom, a world leader in construction of nuclear power plants, last week at the Nuclear Energy Innovation Summit in Kigali, Rwanda signed an MoUs with the US Government, to advance civil nuclear cooperation between the two countries, as well as other agreements between Rwanda’s Atomic Energy Board and companies from the United States, South Africa and Austria.

In Rwanda, feasibility studies for both the construction of a facility using SMR technology and establishing the Centre for Nuclear Science and Technology are ongoing. Historically, these kinds of projects have been financed by governments, but more recently multilateral development banks have started discussions around financing frameworks to expand access for emerging economies embarking on nuclear energy development.”

Today at Green Hills Academy, President Kagame and First Lady Jeannette Kagame joined Grandparents Day, where they enjoyed traditional Rwandan performances by the school’s Nursery Three learners.

The day offered grandparents a memorable opportunity to celebrate Rwandan culture alongside their grandchildren.

[Nuclear Energy Innovation Summit for Africa @NEISAfrica]

Dr. Donald Kaberuka, former President of the African Development Bank and AU Special Envoy on Financing, addressed delegates at #NEISA2026 on the critical role of financing, regional integration, and regulatory credibility in advancing Africa’s nuclear energy future.

Speaking during the plenary on Africa’s Nuclear Energy Investment Case, Dr. Kaberuka emphasized that Africa’s growing industrial ambitions, expanding population, and rising electricity demand require long-term, scalable, and reliable energy solutions capable of supporting sustained economic transformation.

He highlighted the importance of avoiding fragmentation across the continent, strengthening national utilities, building credible regulatory institutions, and developing financing frameworks that can mobilize both African and international capital toward large-scale infrastructure development.

The discussion also explored the balance between social policy and economic sustainability within Africa’s energy systems, particularly the need for financially viable utilities, independent regulation, and investor confidence to support future nuclear energy deployment.

As conversations continue at #NEISA2026, leaders and development partners remain focused on creating practical pathways to finance and deliver Africa’s long-term energy future.

Important exchange with President @PaulKagame on the margins of #NEISA2026 on Rwanda’s ambitious nuclear power plans, including SMRs.

We reviewed 🇷🇼’s progress in preparing the foundations for nuclear power, as outlined in the @IAEAorg’s INIR report that I delivered today, from public outreach to emergency preparedness.

Rwanda can count on the IAEA as it moves forward with its nuclear energy programme.

[Rwanda Broadcasting Agency (RBA) @rbarwanda]

During the same occasion, U.S. company Holtec International and the Rwanda Atomic Energy Board (RAEB) signed a comprehensive Development Agreement to advance the deployment of Holtec's SMR-300 in Rwanda. #RBANews

On Tuesday, Acting Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary in the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Arms Control and Nonproliferation Renee Sonderman and Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Republic of Rwanda, Dr Usta Kaitesi, signed a Memorandum of Understanding Concerning Strategic Civil Nuclear Cooperation (NCMOU) to advance peaceful civil nuclear cooperation between the United States and Rwanda. #RBANews

I’m in Kigali, Rwanda, where I just spoke at the opening of @NEISAfrica’s Nuclear Energy Innovation Summit for Africa #NEISA2026, together with 🇷🇼 President @PaulKagame, 🇹🇿 President @SuluhuSamia, and 🇹🇬 President @FEGnassingbe.

Africa needs more energy, with around 600 million people still lacking access to electricity. The interest in nuclear power is real: about half of all @IAEAorg newcomer countries are African, and 13 are actively pursuing nuclear power programmes.

Rwanda specifically is among the countries looking to nuclear energy as part of the solution, with plans for nuclear to contribute more than 60% of its energy mix by 2050. I handed over to President @PaulKagame the Integrated Nuclear Infrastructure Review (INIR), a report by the IAEA that assesses the country’s progress in developing the infrastructure needed for a safe and secure and sustainable nuclear power programme.

Africa’s energy future will be built by Africans, and the IAEA is ready to continue supporting countries across the continent, from infrastructure development and capacity building to new technologies such as SMRs. Recent agreements between the IAEA and financial institutions such as the @WorldBankGroup will be key in turning ambition into reality.

Thanks to @RAEB_Rwanda President @SinaZerbo for organising #NEISA2026 and this important conversation on Africa’s energy future.
