“We do not say ‘Never Again’ because we believe that the ill has been eradicated, nor that the fight is over; we say ‘Never Again’ because we have embraced the reality of a perpetual resistance against the recurrence of the evil that tried to break us, to erase us.” - First Lady Mrs Jeannette Kagame As we continue #Kwibuka32, Her Excellency reflects on the enduring responsibility of remembrance, the courage of survivors, and the duty of every generation to defend truth.

“Kwibuka carries profound meaning for our nation. It is how we confront and overcome the divisions that nearly destroyed us. This day empowers us all. We draw on the strength of survivors, who provide the reservoir of humanity that feeds our nation’s soul. To all survivors, know that you are not alone. We stand with you always. Everything we have achieved, was only possible, because all Rwandans decided to join hands in common purpose. We honour the role played by every Rwandan, in our country’s rebirth.” President Kagame | #Kwibuka32

"Je suis aujourd’hui doublement heureuse. Heureuse de votre fidélité à cette instance importante dans la vie de notre Organisation, car vous êtes 65 Etats et gouvernements à avoir répondu présents à Kigali. Heureuse également de pouvoir vous recevoir chez moi, à Kigali, où vous êtes et serez toujours les bienvenus." Louise Mushikiwabo, Secrétaire générale de la Francophonie #RBAInfos

Rwanda brings Happiness…

@onduhungirehe Happy birthday to our exceptional leader, HE #PresidentKagame. May you enjoy tenfold the rewards of your labor of love mending our country and making us all stand tall!🙏🎉🎂

J’ai visité ce matin le Mémorial du Génocide de Kigali, lieu de recueillement et de vérité. En ce lieu émouvant, le silence parle plus fort que les mots. Il nous rappelle l’horreur du génocide contre les Tutsi, mais aussi la résilience et la grandeur d’un peuple qui a su transformer la douleur en espérance, et se nourrir de la mémoire pour construire une paix durable dans une constante reconstruction de la fraternité humaine.

Aurevoir Chère Camarade Immaculée Ingabire- nous avons vécu de bons moments mw’Itangazamakuru! Tu t’es battue jusqu’au dernier souffle, toujours avec fierté, patriotisme & un humour hors-pair!! Uzansuhurize Emmanuel Rushingabigwi n’Imfura zacu zose… Inkotanyi cyaane!!

Nyakubahwa Paul Kagame, Perezida wa Repubulika, amaze gushyiraho Minisitiri w'Intebe mushya ariwe Dr. Justin Nsengiyumva. —— —— —— His Excellency Paul Kagame, President of the Republic of Rwanda has today appointed Dr. Justin Nsengiyumva as Prime Minister.

The aspect I think about on Kwibohora is how liberation didn’t just save lives.
It saved the idea of Rwanda itself. Had the genocidaires succeeded in their extermination plan, do you think they would have had a country after that? No. It would have been a nation of serial killers, with murder recognised as policy. The country would be deeply fragmented, broken into provincial enclaves ruled by paranoia and brute force. The state would have collapsed from within - corrupt, isolated and ungovernable. Because of Inkotanyi, Rwanda survived the death of the state. 
This country was fought for, rescued, protected, and built with intention. That’s why today, we mark 31 years of liberation safe in our homes, life in our streets, and food and drink on our tables. We are not iciro ry’imigani. We are a country to reckon with. A country of great audacity, dreams, and unity. And that’s one hell of a love story to inherit. We’re not yet where we want to be.
But Kwibohora should always remind us that we can’t ever let Rwanda go. Tuko Pamoja. ✊🏾
