“In Rwanda, our work, our politics, our mindset, is to put things right. We do not deny anyone peace. That is why the history of Muslims and the way they were persecuted in the past has changed, and we will continue changing it by any means. The same applies to all the others who were persecuted, whether based on ethnicity or region. We will not beg anyone for permission to fight that. We must fight it no matter the cost. That is a principle. It is a duty we owe to our country and to our fellow Rwandans.”President Kagame | Rwandan Muslim Community #MeetThePresident

“Muslims have their own particular history, and they also have a history shared with others in this country of ours. But what is most evident is what we all have in common. The persecution of Muslims, and the denial of peace to them, happened in one particular way. But at the same time, many others were persecuted as well, and in ways that we all relate to. That is why the change that took place in our country, change in governance and politics, was something our country should have had, but was denied for many, many years. What we have now is a path of transformation: transforming lives, transforming governance, transforming mindsets, so that Rwanda can move forward, with every Rwandan playing a role, and with no one subjected to persecution.” President Kagame | Rwandan Muslim Community #MeetThePresident
