Humans of Rwanda 🇷🇼

During the Russia-Africa Summit, held yesterday at the Grand Kremlin Palace in Moscow, Prime Minister Justin Nsengiyumva addressed, like all African Heads of State and Government, the topic of the Summit, which was the Russia-Africa partnership. However, as there was only one Head of State who went off-topic, once again whining about Rwanda, Prime Minister Nsengiyumva made the following statement: "As you know, Rwanda is a country that suffered, even more than anyone else, the lack of security. That experience has taught us that we should never be complacent about or compromise the security of Rwanda. Unfortunately, as we speak today, Rwanda is facing an existential threat from the FDLR genocidal force, which is the force that committed the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. Unfortunately, this force is still enjoying State support in DRC. Addressing this threat, as provided for in the Washington Accords, is key for peace and security in our region. In the same vein, fight against hate speech and the persecution that dehumanizes the Rwandophone community in eastern DRC is critical for effective protection of civilians. Importantly, political causes of this conflict must be addressed in order for us to achieve sustainable peace. Rwanda is in full compliance with the Washington Accords and the African Union led initiatives, to comprehensively address the security challenges in our region. This will enable economic development and joint investments in the abundant resources that our region possesses".
