We hosted an insightful fireside conversation exploring Rwandaโs journey of survival, forgiveness, reconciliation, and national rebuilding.
The discussion featured Josiane Umulinga, author of Survived to Forgive, in conversation with Dr. Winnie Rugutt, Head of International Relations and Diplomacy.
The event also featured a keynote address by the Ambassador of Rwanda to Kenya, highlighting Rwandaโs experience in national healing and post-conflict reconstruction.
Organised by the International Relations Society of Kenya (IRSK), through the Nairobi International Book Club, in partnership with Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) and Riara University, the engagement offered valuable reflections on the power of forgiveness, resilience, and the pursuit of lasting peace.
