Almost! 😅 But as you already know, I don’t give up. I’ll be back, and I’ll ask President Trump the question again. We need to know: When will Rwanda withdraw from the Democratic Republic of the Congo? 🇨🇩 Presque ! 😅 Mais comme vous le savez déjà, je n’abandonne jamais. Je reviendrai et je poserai à nouveau la question au président Trump. Nous devons savoir : quand le Rwanda se retirera-t-il de la République démocratique du Congo ? 🇨🇩

Non, Paul Kagame est un DICTATEUR. Il ne « contribue » pas à la guerre en #RDC. Il en est plutôt le principal instigateur et il tire profit du pillage des ressources de la #RDC #Congo Parler de simple "contribution", c’est blanchir un dictateur génocidaire. #Kagame @ARTEfr

🗳️ Rwanda will hold local elections from 24 October. But elections only have meaning when citizens are free to choose between genuinely different political alternatives. For years, movements such as @FDU_Inkingi, PDR-Ihumure, @RNCongress , Amahoro-PC, Ishema Party, @DalfaUmurinzi and others have remained outside Rwanda’s formal political arena. @VictoireUmuhoza returned to #Rwanda in 2010 to pursue peaceful political change from within the country. She later founded @DalfaUmurinzi in Rwanda. Today, she is again before the High Court. The principle is simple: no one should decide for Rwandans which political alternatives they are allowed to consider. Let every peaceful political movement present its project, defend its ideas and face public scrutiny. Then let Rwandans choose.
Political parties, civil society organisations, government institutions, and diplomatic missions are among those expected to observe #Rwanda’s upcoming local government elections. • National Electoral Commission (NEC) Chairperson Oda Gasinzigwa said applications from prospective election observers will open on October 1. • The elections will be held between October and November 2026, with voting starting at village level before progressing to cell, sector and district levels. • Political parties will have representatives among election observers, but candidates in the local government elections will contest as individuals rather than on party tickets. • Approximately 70,000 electoral volunteers will be needed to facilitate the elections, according to NEC. • Village-level elections are scheduled for October 24, followed by cell-level elections on October 31 and sector-level elections on November 7. • Elections for District Council members and executive committees will take place in November, with the electoral process concluding on November 30 with elections for members of the executive committees of the National Councils.

Today, the Rwandan opposition leader, Ms Victoire Ingabire, celebrates her 58th birthday. Yesterday, the 2026 Josep and Liesel Vidal Peace Memorial Award was accepted on her behalf in Spain by her family. Ms Ingabire was awarded this prestigious peace prize in recognition of her non-violent political activism in #Rwanda. Ms Ingabire is currently being detained, a situation which the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention has declared to be arbitrary. The mistreatment she has been subjected to, both in the past and currently, at the hands of Rwandan authorities, is indicative of the legitimacy of her struggle and affirms it as being for all Rwandans and friends of Rwanda from across the world who wish to see the country embrace good governance underpinned by respect for human rights, the rule of law, and democracy.

Le dernier rapport du Secrétaire général de l’ONU contient un constat qui doit être au cœur de la mise en œuvre de l’Accord de Washington : les opérations de lutte contre les FDLR « continuaient de viser systématiquement des civils, entraînant des morts et des déplacements de population ». Ce constat s’inscrit dans une réalité historique qu’on ne peut ignorer. Depuis près de trente ans, Kigali invoque la menace des FDLR dans le contexte d’interventions au Congo et de conflits impliquant ses proxys successifs — AFDL, RCD, CNDP puis M23 — au cours desquels de très graves crimes, dont des crimes de masse documentés, ont frappé des réfugiés rwandais et des populations hutu. Le fait que le rapport évoque ici les FDLR dans le contexte des « groupes de légitime défense armés » est également révélateur d’une réalité trop souvent ignorée : celle de populations réfugiées qui vivent depuis des décennies sous la menace de massacres, de déplacements et de rapatriements forcés, et pour lesquelles la prise des armes répond avant tout à une logique de protection et de survie. Cette réalité doit être pleinement prise en compte dans tout processus de désarmement. Dès lors, la neutralisation des FDLR prévue par l’Accord de Washington ne peut devenir un nouveau prétexte pour exposer ces populations à la violence. La priorité doit être leur protection et la création des conditions permettant un retour volontaire, digne, sécurisé et massif des réfugiés rwandais dans leur pays. Cela exige l’implication des États-Unis, des pays de la sous-région et de l’ensemble de la communauté internationale pour amener Kigali à un véritable dialogue avec ces populations et créer les conditions politiques de leur retour. Les acteurs armés, les acteurs politiques et les acteurs civils concernés ou issus des communautés de réfugiés, qui ont soutenu l’Accord de Washington ainsi que le protocole de désarmement, de démobilisation et de cantonnement des FDLR qui s’inscrit dans sa mise en œuvre, doivent désormais être rassurés et accompagnés par l’ensemble des parties prenantes, notamment par des garanties crédibles quant à la protection des populations réfugiés rwandaise et à la recherche d’une solution politique durable à la question des réfugiés rwandais. On ne peut durablement résoudre la question des FDLR sans résoudre celle des réfugiés rwandais. @US_SrAdvisorAF @JBorgstam @ymahmoudali @MONUSCO

Diplomatie ya FPR imaze kunanirwa.
In a meeting with Rwandan Ambassador @AmbMukantabana, Assistant Secretary Garcia stressed that Rwanda must uphold its obligations under the Washington Accords, including ending all support to M23 and withdrawing its forces from the DRC. Full implementation is the foundation for lasting peace in the Great Lakes region and will open the door to new investment and deeper economic ties that bring mutual prosperity.

Ingamba zo gukuraho ingamba! 😂🤣😂 Ubwo se ibyo bivuze iki koko ? Bage bareka gukinisha abantu.
On September 29, Rwanda’s UN Ambassador @martin_ngoga announced that Kigali had taken steps to lift its “defensive measures” and had reported those steps through the Washington mechanisms. The announcement follows earlier statements by dictator @PaulKagame indicating that Rwanda would not remove the measures. The timing, amid increased U.S. diplomatic pressure, has drawn attention to a possible shift in Kigali’s position and the role of Washington’s engagement in the process. @POTUS @batten_von @hrw @Europarl_FR @Presidence_RDC @UN @UNHumanRights .

Ubwo @FabRugumire nabagenzibe baraje batubwireko,iyi video niyo kubwa Habyarimana .
It is heartbreaking to see that we have a government that does not care about its citizens. The #RPF has been in power for 32 years, yet so far, it has not built enough significant infrastructure. Instead, much of the infrastructure that is still being used today was built under #Habyarimana’s government. #Kagame does not care about the well-being of ordinary citizens. Instead, his main concern seems to be portraying Rwanda to the international community as a country that has developed, while also providing financial support to European football clubs, even as many Rwandans still lack basic infrastructure. It is heartbreaking to see resources and efforts being directed toward activities abroad while people in Rwanda still need essential infrastructure that can improve their daily lives . @HRF @AstonVilla @PSG_inside @hrw @EU_Partnerships @batten_von .

Did he ?
How #Kagame Moved #Rwanda Beyond Aid Dependency President Kagame had already made this objective clear in a 2009 interview with CNN, when he explained what he wanted to achieve during his tenure in relation to foreign aid: “Aid must do those things that will see people wean off aid.” More than a decade later, Rwanda’s shift from donor reliance toward greater domestic resource mobilization, trade, investment, and strategic partnerships suggests that this was not simply rhetoric.

The struggle ended with #Rwanda still struggles to provide basic infrastructure and services, an ever-growing military cemetery, an internationally sanctioned #RDF. Those who started the struggle have either died or fled #Rwanda. Wonder what all those lives were sacrificed for.
1 October 1990. The day the struggle began and with it, Rwanda’s long journey toward rebirth. Brave men and women stepped forward knowing the price could be their own lives. They sacrificed their youth, their dreams, their blood and, for many, their last breath for a Rwanda they believed could rise again. Today, we remember them with profound gratitude. To those who fell, those who survived, and every Inkotanyi who carried the struggle forward: thank you. Your courage opened the road to liberation. Your sacrifice helped give Rwanda a future. We shall never forget. INKOTANYI FOREVER. 🇷🇼♥️
