“Leaders often should not look at themselves alone. They are supposed to come last, not first, in sharing the benefits that come from doing things well. Too often, however, it is evident that some people put their own interests first. Many even add arrogance to it, forgetting that ours is a service to the nation, not a contest between one person and another. The interests of the country must always come first. And when you serve the country well, the truth is that you too are among those who benefit. What matters is for people to see their duty that way.” President Kagame | Swearing-in Ceremony of New Government Officials

@zuba_mutesi Atp, our citizenship changes with the fixtures😂

Reliable energy is not just a power issue, it is an economic transformation issue. Africa’s future depends on credible institutions, regional integration, and sustainable financing. #NEISA2026

You can build a thousand roads but if the minds driving on them aren’t sharp, competitive and disciplined, you’re just paving the path to mediocrity. Capacity building is the real foundation. @NewTimesRwanda #Rwox

@dr_dash250 I haven’t reached 60 countries yet but the ones I’ve seen, have been enough to make me deeply grateful for my motherland🇷🇼. #Rwanda punches way above its weight. Proud to call it home

I’ve traveled to over 60 countries across 5 continents. But I’ll tell you this: The more I travel, the more I appreciate what we’ve built in Rwanda. Your Excellency President Paul Kagame, you may not know this as well as I’d like you to, but what you’ve built in such a short time and with limited resources is a legacy that will last a lifetime. I will always be proud to call you my President. It’s hard to explain how special we have it in Rwanda. Only those who’ve traveled can truly understand.

@TheLongFormRw @EACTIMES @adoniaayebare @nbstv @afromobileug Can’t wait for this!! Chief @amosseromba16 take note 😅

🚨 NEW EPISODE MONDAY 🚨 The Uganda–Rwanda fallout did not begin recently. On Monday, I sit down with Dr. Adonia Ayebare — Uganda’s Ambassador to the United Nations and a longtime advisor to President Yoweri Museveni. According to Dr. Ayebare (@adoniaayebare), the roots of the crisis go back to 1994 — when elements within the Ugandan government struggled to fully treat the newly installed Rwandan government as a truly sovereign state. He also speaks candidly about the powerful spoilers who benefited from the breakdown in relations. ⚠️ 🇺🇬🇷🇼 What really broke relations between Uganda's NRM and Rwanda's RPF 🕊️ Why Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba’s intervention changed everything ⚔️ The UPDF’s operations in eastern Congo 🌍 Whether the UN system still works for African countries 👀 And whether he sees himself becoming Uganda’s new Foreign Minister ⏳ Out Monday. 6AM on audio streaming. 6PM on YouTube.

I lived in Japan for a year. Most of my experiences were exhausting in ways I’d rather not get into, but this one still makes me laugh. I was on the train in Osaka, minding my own business, when I noticed a group of school kids a few seats down. They were whispering, glancing at me, then whispering again. They kept passing a folded piece of paper between them as if they were planning something top secret. I watched this go on for two stops. Finally, one of the kids was pushed forward by the others. He walked over to me slowly, like he was approaching a wild animal that might bite. He stopped right in front of me, bowed politely, and held out the folded paper with both hands. I opened it. Inside was a handwritten note in careful English: “Hello. We think you are a very cool person. We are practicing our English. We hope this note is correct. Please give us a score.” At the bottom, they had drawn a literal grading box, out of ten. I looked up. Seven pairs of eyes were staring at me as if their entire semester depended on my response. I pulled out a pen, wrote “10/10” in the box, and added a note: “Perfect English. Well done.” The boy carried it back to the group. They read it together… and absolutely lost their minds. High-fives, jumping, and one kid even pumped his fist in the air. Their teacher, who had been pretending not to watch from the end of the car, was biting her lip, trying hard not to smile. I rode the rest of the journey grinning to myself. That’s the Japan I always remember.

The thing about today’s Rwanda is that being Gen Rwigema’s daughter would not be sufficient for her to be in that position. So, yes she is Gen Rwigema’s daughter and she is also competent.

is this AI?......for I have never heard of such wisdom from a lady

QUALIFICATIONS CAN OPEN DOORS, BUT IT IS PRODUCTIVITY THAT WILL KEEP YOU IN THE ROOM Our education and academic qualifications are definitely important achievements, as they will open doors for us, but it is not qualifications but our skills...

Warm congratulations to #VisitRwanda partner Paris Saint-Germain @PSG_inside on securing qualification to the UEFA semi-finals. Strong performance and a well-deserved result! Wishing you the best in the next stage!

African states remain too entangled in aid dependency, debt traps, commodity exports, and elite interests to ever sustain a true resistance economy like Iran’s. Meaningful self-reliance would demand an entirely new foundation beyond today’s flawed nation-state models.

I had never heard about a “resistance economy” as a concept and a real thing before Iran happened. What lessons for the still colonized world – especially black Africa!

The Americans say the world should remember the genocide against the Tutsi. One of the lessons to remember is that Rwandans relied on the international community and its response was ‘you are on your own’ Now the same killers are across the border in the DRC and have openly said their biggest regret was to leave behind survivors and their testimonies of what they saw. Americans tell Rwandans: don’t worry we will come save you. So the world the Americans is telling to remember doesn’t include Rwandans since what they are asking Rwandans to do is a partial remembrance. Full remembrance for Rwandans involves not having to rely on anyone else for their own survival. And that anyone who is telling them otherwise is giving them a fool’s errand.
