Today, we remember and reflect on the horrific 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda.
We honour the victims, survivors, and everyone whose lives were changed forever by the atrocities and commit to building a better world where such horrors are never forgotten or repeated.
𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞: The National Bank of Rwanda has successfully completed a 5-month Proof of Concept(PoC) for a potential Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), the e-Franc Rwandais (e-FRW).
The PoC marks an important milestone in #Rwanda’s journey toward a more digital, resilient and inclusive financial system. It involved close collaboration with commercial banks, payment service providers, fintech innovators and key public institutions.

As an Oranger, I would be ashamed to ever use "Lil' Greeners" as a source of my issues for 60+ years (and counting).
I would never admit it even it were true, let alone manufacture such an excuse. #DRC#RDC
The country in green is “destabilising” the country in Orange since the time Leopold left. We have clowns who are actually believe the nonsense? They believe it because Europeans say so!
🛑🚨‼️Inspection des toilettes aujourd’hui à l’Ambassade de #Suisse à #Kinshasa. L’Ambassadeur s’est rassuré que les équipes formées en Suisse soient à la hauteur de leurs tâches. Un moment fort dans les relations bilatérales.

The genocidal forces were defeated in 1994, and not destroyed. The FDLR remains committed to completing the genocide against the Tutsi while a campaign of denial is waged world-wide blaming the victims for their fate and fooling the unwary. Genocide remains a crime with no end.
La rupture de nos relations diplomatiques avec la Belgique implique naturellement la fermeture immédiate de notre ambassade à Bruxelles et le rappel de tous nos diplomates de @RwandaInBelgium, qui doivent rentrer à Kigali dans les 48 heures.
En attendant, aucun de nos diplomates ne répondra à aucune convocation de l'Etat belge.
Mr. Le Bourgmestre, I realize you're used to affairs of your commune, not serious international affairs. Otherwise you wouldn't want proportionate. Because what you don't want your king and queen treated like you did ours. You don't want your people treated like you do ours.
Belgium regrets the decision of Rwanda to cut off diplomatic relations with Belgium and to declare Belgium’s diplomats persona non grata.
This is disproportionate and shows that when we disagree with Rwanda they prefer not to engage in dialogue.
Belgium will take similar measures: the convocation of the Rwandan chargé d’affaires a.i., declaring Rwanda’s diplomats persona non grata and denouncing our governmental cooperation agreements.
@BelgiumMFA
Mr Le Bourgmestre, what do you want to dialogue about?
- Your aiding and abetting of the killing of Rwandans for the last 100+ years?
- Your murder of Kings Musinga and Rudahigwa?
- Your conscious sending of Queen Gicanda to her death?
Belgium is Rwanda's cancer. A curse!

Kudos @MarioNawfal! Trusting you will not follow the MSM narrative and will do a balanced, nuanced and in-depth analysis and reporting on this existential issue. The West's Establishment has willfully ignored the obvious truth and imposed senseless sanctions, but truth prevails!
This President stopped a genocide, rebuilt a country, and is now caught in the middle of the biggest humanitarian crisis of the century...
Exclusive Interview drops Tuesday.
Guess the name and country 👇
"Rwanda may have security concerns but it is unacceptable to resolve these militarily". Says UK but the last time we relied on international community to solve our security concerns we lost 1 Mio people. There won't be a next trial, we simply have no more family members to lose.
@prevotmaxime May be you think we are the same idiots you dealt with 50 years ago.
May you think you can have us chopped into pieces and keep our teeth for exhibition like you did with Lumumba.
We are not the Africa of 50 years ago, and you are not the Belgium 🔻of 50 years ago either.
Belgium should be the last entity to get involved in this, given that you're the very root cause of the issue, and given the ills you've caused in the region since then.
Thinking that Rwanda would choose your aid over her very existence shows how out of touch & obsolete you are.
Belgium takes note of Rwanda's decision to suspend our bilateral cooperation program .
Following Rwanda's violation of the territorial integrity of the DRC, we were in the process of reviewing our cooperation with a view to taking decisive measures in response to this situation.
We are committed to a professional suspension process that preserves the gains of our longstanding cooperation for the benefit of the Rwandan people.
We are determined to continue our efforts to raise awareness and mobilise the international community to find a peaceful solution to the conflict in the east of the DRC, based on international law.
We are honored to announce that H.E. Paul Kagame, President of the Republic of Rwanda, will attend the 2nd edition of the Inclusive FinTech Forum, taking place February 24-26, 2025, in Kigali.
This global gathering will unite policymakers, investors, entrepreneurs, and regulators to drive meaningful discussions on advancing economic inclusion through technology.
Join us to forge impactful partnerships and take strategic action in shaping the future of fintech and financial inclusion.
“Africa now finds itself at a crossroads. The health financing landscape has shifted dramatically. To attract grant funding for health, we will have to make a very strong case, and that means contributing more from our own resources, and relentlessly focusing on value for money. We should not be daunted by this. The work to build our continent, including our health, cannot be outsourced to anyone else. Current events are therefore an invitation for us to take full ownership of our challenges, and find alternative ways of addressing them.” President Kagame.
This afternoon in Addis Ababa, President Kagame, who is also the AU Champion on Domestic Health Financing, chaired a High-Level Meeting on Domestic Health Financing organized in collaboration with the African Union Commission, Africa CDC and AUDA-NEPAD.
