The allegation that Rwanda exploits DRC’s minerals is utterly baseless. This is why👇 Rwanda has a robust legal framework which ensures that its mineral trade is transparent and compliant with international standards. The country has taken concrete steps to regulate its mineral sector and prevent illegal imports, reinforcing its commitment to ethical mining practices. Did you know that Rwanda is a member of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) Mineral Certification Mechanism which guarantees that minerals exported from Rwanda are conflict-free? Did you know that Rwanda is a committed member of the OECD Due Diligence Guidelines for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals which sets international standards designed to compel companies to respect human rights and avoid contributing to conflicts through their mineral sourcing practices? These guidelines provide a framework for businesses to ensure that the extraction, trade, and use of minerals do not finance armed groups or human rights abuses, particularly in high-risk areas like the Great Lakes Region of Africa. Did you know that Rwanda was the first country in the whole of the Great Lakes region to adopt strict traceability programs such as the International Tin Supply Chain Initiative (ITSCI) in 2011, which tracks the origins of its mineral exports? The country led the way in mineral traceability by introducing tagging and tracking systems to ensure that its tin, tantalum, and tungsten (3T minerals) are sourced responsibly and meet OECD Due Diligence Guidelines. Did you know that Rwanda has made deliberate investments in local mining infrastructure, including refineries for gold, tin, and tantalum with the aim of developing its domestic mineral resources and reducing reliance on external sources? These facilities ensure that minerals exported from Rwanda are legally sourced and processed within its borders. If Rwanda was engaged in illegal mineral trade, it would not have built such transparent systems that allow international verification mechanisms. Rwanda’s commitment to ethical trade, legal compliance, and international oversight underscores its role as a responsible player in the global mineral market.

Unlike what the international community will have you believe, the idea that a political solution is necessary to solve the conflict in Eastern DRC is far from new. It is what Rwanda has been calling for, for YEARS. It is exactly what President Tshisekedi has openly and REPEATEDLY refused to do. And we will not join you in pretending otherwise. The underlying message of the selective outcry is not that there is a sudden genuine concern for the plight of a country that everyone knows is a failed state. The message is clear: the decision made 30 years ago—that the lives of Rwandans are expendable in the face of geopolitical interests—still stands today. That is why the leadership of DRC is enjoying the perks of sharing the same interests as their masters: talk crazy, recruit genocidaires and European mercenaries to fight your wars, sit back, relax, and let the international community bury the real issue. What every resolution and statement is calling for is an immediate return to business as usual: a nation that must remain a lawless playground where leaders get their cut to go buy castles in Brussels, the international community thrives off the business of peacekeeping and poverty alleviation programs, and their companies protect their profits. Every country throwing its weight behind DRC knows they would never tolerate a fraction of the kind of security threats Rwanda has been facing for 30 years. The gaslighting is deliberate because the truth is bad for business. It turns out that in this equation, the citizens of either country don’t actually matter, and in the end, their goal is NOT in fact a path to peace.

President Kagame and Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) President David Lappartient flagged off the 17th edition of Rwanda Cycling Tour #TdRwanda2025. This year’s edition comes ahead of the UCI World Championships that is expected to bring together riders from across the world for the first World Championship to be held in Africa in 125 years. UCI counts 201 federations and countries.

President Kagame also met with David Lappartient and discussed the opening of the UCI World Cycling Center Regional Development Satellite. The initiative will serve as a training center for elite talent serving cyclists from Rwanda, the continent and beyond. They also exchanged on the potential for Tour du Rwanda to grow and be elevated to the Pro Series and World Tour levels.

President Kagame held a meeting yesterday with @DavidLammy and discussed bilateral relations and the need for a lasting solution to the situation in DRC, rooted in the reality on the ground. President Kagame made it clear that Rwanda is committed to a peaceful resolution but its legitimate security interests must be recognized and respected. The President reiterated the importance of respecting the ongoing continental process to bring a durable solution to the conflict in DRC.
