Often, colleagues ask me why we Rwandans hold HE The President and the RDF in such high Honor?Simply because without them, their sacrifice and service, we wouldn’t be. The Rwanda the world knows today, and which we are so proud to represent

wouldn’t have existed!
@RwandaMoD
President Kagame: You work under the sun, the rain, in the middle of forests and different environments, and we ask ourselves whether what we give you is enough. The answer is that it can never be enough because this job goes beyond the individual, it is for the nation.

The 1994 Genocide against the Tutsis was preventable.They could have prevented it& did not.
In 100 days of execution,they could have stopped it & did not.
They helped genocide suspects escape Justice.
