LE PRÉSIDENT ÉVARISTE NDAYISHIMIYE (BURUNDI) "Aujourd’hui, nos hommes [en RDC] sont placés sous le commandement des Forces armées de la République démocratique du Congo [les FARDC]. Ce sont elles qui les déploient, et nous sommes là pour leur venir en appui". A FEW MOMENTS LATER... QUESTION: Comment pourrait-il y avoir une collaboration entre les FARDC et les FDLR, mais pas avec vos troupes, alors qu'elles sont alliées à l’armée congolaise ? RÉPONSE DU PRÉSIDENT: "Les unités burundaises ont leur secteur et les FARDC, le leur. J’ajoute que les différentes unités ne peuvent pas se mélanger parce qu’elles n’ont pas les mêmes stratégies de combat". Comprenne qui pourra🤷🏾‍♂️!

32nd Commemoration of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi in Rwanda (Kwibuka32). On the 32nd anniversary of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda (#Kwibuka32), the Department of Political Affairs, Peace and Security of the African Union (AU) Commission in collaboration with the Embassy of the Republic of Rwanda in Ethiopia and Permanent Mission to the AU, will commemorate the1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, under the theme: “Remember-Unite- Renew”, on 7 April 2026, at the African Union Headquarters, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The annual commemoration aims to continuously awaken greater awareness of the African people and the international community about the value of life and humanity and to renew collective commitment to protect and uphold fundamental human rights. Mostly, the event will provide an opportunity to remember the atrocities brought by the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi in Rwanda; unite together in our fight against genocide, its ideology, hate speech and other crimes against humanity; and to renew our resolve to ensure that Genocide does not happen ever again. Representatives from the AU Member States, the AU Commission, Members of the Diplomatic Corps accredited to the AU, AU Organs, Religious Institutions, Human Rights Institutions, Intergovernmental and Civil Society Organizations, UN Agencies, Think Tanks, International Organizations, Academic Institutions in Ethiopia, as well as, representatives of the media will attend the event, which will be marked by a series of activities, such as, the 32nd Commemoration of the Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, which will also include Walk to Remember, lighting of the Flame of Remembrance, launch of the AU Human Rights Virtual Memorial: introduction of the component of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tusti in Rwanda and messages of reflection from AU officials and invited guests, among others. The AU has been commemorating this catastrophic event since 07 April 2010. This year marks the 32nd commemoration of those dark days, an important occasion to remember the lives lost, show solidarity with survivors and unite to ensure it never happens again – in Rwanda or elsewhere in Africa and beyond. It is also a chance to learn about Rwanda’s story of reconciliation, conflict resolution mechanisms, nation building and home grown solutions.

Rwanda has consistently maintained that the long-term deployment of our security forces in joint counterterrorism operations in Mozambique requires a sustainable financing framework. Having so far shouldered the bulk of the financial burden of these operations, a transition to more equitable funding is a strategic necessity. This common-sense position is a matter of public record and is unrelated to news reports from anonymous sources to @LeMonde’s @Phjacque in Brussels, where opposition to Rwanda's security cooperation with Mozambique has never been quiet, or from @WSJ’s @NicholasBariyo’s baseless speculations and unethical reporting. Bariyo – it is also a matter of public record that a Rwandan delegation was in Washington DC in March for scheduled meetings at the State Department in the context of the ongoing Washington Peace Agreement, a statement was issued after these meetings. No comments of the sort you mention, in one of several hallucinations you report, were uttered by our ambassador to the U.S. Rwanda has not and will not seek additional funds from the European Peace Facility, that is a matter for Mozambique. Rwanda's deployment requires sustainable financing, and it is up to the host government and its partners with major investments in Cabo Delgado to provide for that, as it has always been. Otherwise, Rwanda is satisfied to have been able to contribute together with our Mozambican allies in defeating the terrorists, securing the residents of Cabo Delgado and allowing for investments to roll out. Both the @WSJ and @LeMonde also get the numbers wrong. Current personnel numbers stand at over 6,300—significantly higher than the initial 2,000 deployed in 2021. This increase was a direct response to the expanded scope of operations and the necessity of filling the security vacuum left by the withdrawal of the SADC Mission in Mozambique (SAMIM) in 2024. The bottom line is: ISIS attacks mainly victimized Mozambican civilians, and they have been the biggest beneficiaries of the joint security mission, having returned to their homes and resumed their lives. The gas investments benefit European and global energy security/interests, not Rwanda's – Rwandan forces are present in Cabo Delgado in response to the request of the Government of Mozambique for support.

Aujourd’hui, le Rwanda célèbre la Journée internationale de la Francophonie sous le thème « Génération Z, Génération Paix ? », mettant en lumière la contribution des jeunes à la construction d’un monde plus apaisé. Habituellement célébrée le 20 mars, cette journée marque chaque année l’anniversaire de la création de l’@OIFrancophonie. Dans son allocution d’ouverture, la Ministre d’État Sandrine Umutoni @RwandaYouthArts a souligné qu’aujourd’hui, nous célébrons bien plus qu’une langue : nous célébrons une communauté vivante et dynamique de plus de 321 millions de francophones à travers le monde, unis non seulement par une langue commune, mais aussi par des valeurs partagées telles que le dialogue, la solidarité, la diversité et la paix. 🔗For more pictures: flic.kr/s/aHBqjCP2kJ

“Rwanda has learnt from experience that unregulated civic spaces create briefcase NGOs that emerge when funding is available, lack governance and have a little impact on citizens.” Dr Doris Uwicyeza, the CEO of the Rwanda Governance Board on requirements for an NGO to operate in Rwanda and regulating their operations.
