Today I had the privilege of attending a comprehensive and insightful briefing on Finland’s security policy delivered by The Finnish Minister of Foreign Affairs @elinavaltonen to the diplomatic corps. Her clarity, depth of analysis, and principled approach to today’s evolving global security landscape were truly commendable. Together with the Ambassador of Kenya, HE Angeline Musili @Mamagov1 we also expressed our appreciation for the leadership of The President of Finland , His Excellency President @alexstubb and his strong commitment to inclusiveness in global governance, particularly his clear support for greater African representation within the United Nations system. As President Stubb stated: “Africa’s permanent representation in the Security Council is long overdue. The reformed Council should have two permanent members from Africa, alongside with new permanent members from Asia and Latin America.” His thoughtful engagement on the question of Security Council reform and veto power reflects an important recognition of the need for a more balanced and representative international order. We also emphasized the importance of strengthening Finland–Africa economic relations by addressing barriers to trade, including through Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTTA), while also underscoring the need to contextualize crises as part of interconnected global challenges. Sustainable solutions require not only collective action, but also an honest consideration of the root causes that drive conflict, instability, and inequality.

Frontline Readiness: Two-Day Capacity Building Equips Bugesera and Ruhango Health Staff for Sustained SCH/STH Interruption @RwandaNGOForum, in collaboration with @RBCRwanda and @Physicians_RW, successfully concluded two-day capacity-building parallel sessions this week (29th–30th April 2026). The training, supported by @TheENDFund, built the capacity of 139 healthcare providers on Schistosomiasis (SCH) and Soil-Transmitted Helminthiasis (STH) surveillance at three sites: @RuhangoPH and @Hospital_Gitwe in the @RuhangoDistrict and @NyamataHospital in @BugeseraDistr. The participants included OPD nurses, laboratory technicians, and medical doctors from district hospitals and health centers across the @BugeseraDistr and @RuhangoDistrict catchment areas. Sessions covered SCH and STH clinical case definitions and triage protocols, the Kato-Katz diagnostic technique as the recommended method in Interruption of Transmission (IoT) settings, @WHO-aligned case management using Praziquantel for SCH and Albendazole for STH, accurate case reporting through RHMIS/DHIS2 and coordinated public health response including SCH active case detection, focal mass drug administration (MDA), and social behavior change (SBC) interventions. Healthcare workers across both districts are now better equipped to detect, diagnose, treat, and report neglected tropical diseases (NTD) cases of SCH and STH, bringing Rwanda one step closer to the sustained Interruption of Transmission of SCH and STH. #BeatNTDs #EndNTDs #Act4NTDs #InvestInNTDs #SurveillanceTraining #UmuturageKuIsonga @RwandaHealth @RwandaLocalGov @RwandaEast @RwandaSouth @WHORwanda @waterforpeople @RwandaGender @WVRwanda @Rwanda_Child @Imbuto @EUinRW @GermanyinRwanda @japaninrwanda @JicainRwanda @WorldRelief @ughe_org @Uni_Rwanda @UCmhs @Sfrwanda1 @RwandaInfra @RURA_RWANDA @wasac_rwanda @nsanzimanasabin @BrianChirombo @unicefrw @RwandaAgri @EugeneRuberanz2 @DMbituyumuremyi @NLadislas @Knooliet @CMuvunyi @TuyishimeAlbert @LiekevandeWiel @dhabimana @iassumpta @DrDanielNgamije @semakulam @JNdayizigiye

Dans cet éditorial intitulé “Le Rwanda Commémore: l’audace d’un peuple d’exister, 32 ans après”, Son Excellence Mme Jeannette Kagame revient sur la persistance des discours de haine et la nécessité d’y répondre avec vérité, lucidité et résilience. “Nous savons que les spasmes de la haine continuent en cette période de Kwibuka. Nous connaissons désormais le rythme. Nous y répondons par la vérité, avec la même énergie. Nous résistons en portant plus haut le flambeau, car il est de ces lumières que rien n’éteint: ni la haine, ni le temps, ni le mensonge.” Lisez l’intégralité de l’Op-Ed: imbutofoundation.org/le-rwanda-comm… #Kwibuka32
