Rwanda’s 3T minerals exports grew by 46% in just 2025 🇷🇼
Exports of Tin, Tungsten & Tantalum (coltan) surged 46% in 2025, helping cut the trade deficit from $3B to $2B.
These are places in Rwanda where these minerals are found👇
📍 Nyakabingo (Rulindo) – tungsten
📍 Rutongo (Northern Province) – tin (cassiterite)
📍 Gatumba (Western Province) – coltan & tin
📍 Rukaragata (Eastern Province) – tantalum
📍 Bugarama (Northern/Western belt) – tungsten
This is what strong partnerships look like. The RDF has helped protect civilians in the Central African Republic and restore security in other parts of the world. Rwanda continues to show that working together and taking action can make a real difference in bringing peace and stability to Africa.
The Chief of General Staff of the Central African Republic Armed Forces, Gen Zéphirin MAMADOU, who is in Rwanda on official visit, today held talks with RDF leadership at RDF HQs in Kimihurura. He was received by the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen MK Mubarakh bit.ly/3Wp46Yq

When hatred finds a voice in those entrusted with protecting lives, humanity itself is put at risk. No nation can build its future on fear, violence, and impunity.
The DRC deserves leadership that heals rather than divides, protects rather than threatens, and chooses peace over the dangerous politics of hatred. History must never remember silence as consent.
NBA defends Rwanda partnership
"Our mission is to inspire and connect people through basketball, both in the United States and more than 200 other countries and territories around the world where we engage with our fans. Our business around the world is not one-size-fits-all” said Tatum
the NBA, for now, is still in business with Rwanda.

Belgian documents from 1956 and 1959 show that Rwanda, like Burundi and the DRC, has mineral resources. Belgium knows the full historical truth but remains silent.
Facts matter more than propaganda.
Inyandiko z'Ababiligi zo mu 1956 n'1959 zigaragaza ko u Rwanda kimwe n'u Burundi na Congo hari amabuye y'agaciro. Urebye iyo mu 1959 igaragaza aho ay'u Rwanda ari n'Ababiligi bari barikebeye, wibaza impamvu bavuga ko u Rwanda rugurisha Coltan abandi bakumva Rubaya ya Congo. Ese Ababiligi bayacukuraga bimukanye ubutaka arimo? Na zahabu hirya no hino.

The textile benefits had already been suspended for a long time. Today, Rwandan exports to the USA hover around 30 to 43 million dollars per year, amounting to just 1 to 2% of the country's total exports.
Coffee, tea, and especially minerals (coltan, tungsten, tin, gold) already benefit from very low or zero tariffs outside of AGOA.
So excluding Rwanda from AGOA in 2027 is a bit like threatening someone with taking away a benefit they hardly use anymore.
This is a desperate attempt to disguise authoritarianism as national security!
Rwanda ranking first in Sub-Saharan Africa on one dimension of the Rule of Law Index does not erase political repression, the persecution of opposition, the absence of genuine political pluralism, or documented violations of human rights.
And invoking the FDLR does not give Kagame a blank cheque to destabilize eastern DRC, support armed groups, and undermine regional sovereignty.
Legitimate security concerns must be addressed through lawful and accountable means, not used as an excuse for military adventurism.
Stop confusing Rwanda with Kagame’s regime. The security of a nation is not the security of one ruler.

While #Burundi is grappling with mounting, deep-rooted crises, including a deteriorating economy, significant losses of personnel and military equipment in Ndayishimiye’s military misadventure in eastern DRC, and growing divisions within its own armed forces.
The inept tyrant's minions still have the guts to meddle into Rwanda's internal affairs.

Dans une lettre adressée à @PaulKagame le 28 octobre 2026, #Washington annonce son intention de retirer au #Rwanda les avantages de l’AGOA dès le 1er janvier 2027.
Mais le véritable séisme réside dans les motifs avancés. Les @USA accusent le régime rwandais de soutenir militairement le M23, de déployer ses troupes en RDC, de contribuer à l’occupation de territoires congolais, de faciliter le pillage et le trafic des minerais de l’Est congolais, ainsi que d’être impliqué dans de graves violations des droits humains. Kigali est également mis en cause pour la répression de l’opposition et l’étouffement des libertés démocratiques.
Ces griefs relèvent pourtant du secret de Polichinelle, même si certains préfèrent continuer à caresser le Rwanda dans le sens du poil, une complaisance à laquelle les USA semblent désormais vouloir mettre un terme.
Ce n’est donc plus seulement une sanction commerciale, mais une mise en cause directe de la politique régionale, sécuritaire et intérieure du Rwanda par Washington.
Les autres puissances, notamment l’ UE , ainsi que les pays amis de la région des Grands Lacs, devraient s’inspirer de cette démarche et abandonner la langue de bois. Quid des organisations régionales?
La stabilité régionale ne se construira ni sur les ambiguïtés diplomatiques ni sur les silences complaisants, mais sur la vérité, la responsabilité et l’application effective des engagements pris.

Our stance remains clear; Rwanda chose to phase out secondhand clothing imports to protect our sovereignty and build our own domestic textile industry.This AGOA suspension is simply the price of choosing self-reliance over dependence. 1/2

#Rwanda has already left this thing AGOA in In 2018,
Rwanda refused to become a dumping ground for second-hand clothing and other used goods from the United States.
Rwanda had learned that international relations are driven by interests, not by spoon-and-stick politics. It was time to stop accepting unequal terms and start charting its own course.
That was a defining moment when Rwanda chose to protect its domestic textile industry, promote local production, create opportunities for its own manufacturers, and put national interests first.
Rwanda chose economic sovereignty over dependency.

One thing must not be overlooked about @GeneralNeva’s decision to send Burundian troops into the DRC.
Was it truly about regional peace, or personal financial gain?
What justified the deployment, and who benefited from the monthly payments?
Was it peacekeeping, or profit-making dressed in the language of peace?
Wilson Kwihagana retweeted
We must learn to tell a ladder from a leash. Are AGOA and similar initiatives truly meant to lift us up, or simply keep us crawling?
What kind of help promises development but punishes you the moment you dare to rise on your own?
You cannot call it empowerment while setting fire to our path to progress.

Celebrate loudly today; tomorrow may bring screams instead of laughter. You cannot wear Christ’s name while dancing with Satan.
No satanic soul can hide forever beneath Christianity’s umbrella. Remember, the sweetest laugh belongs to those who laugh last.
Thank you, President Trump
@POTUS
for once again holding the Kagame regime accountable. By terminating Rwanda’s AGOA eligibility, you have sent a clear message that trade privileges are not a free pass for authoritarianism, human rights abuses, and Kagame's practices that pose a threat to U.S. national security and foreign policy interests in the region. Never before was there a leader like President Trump who dared to call out Paul Kagame’s wrongs by terminating Rwanda’s AGOA eligibility and imposing sanctions over its role in the eastern Congo conflict. President Trump is the only U.S. president to bring the leaders of Rwanda and the DRC together for the Washington Accords to end the nearly 30-year conflict in eastern Congo after decades of failed efforts by others. The Rwandan and Congolese people who have endured years of suffering under Kagame regime warmly welcome President Trump’s principled stand for peace, accountability, and a brighter future.

Tshisekedi claims the FDLR have been rounded up and shipped to Kitona. His Foreign Minister says they cannot be neutralized because they hide in areas "controlled by Rwanda".
Same day. Same country. Two conflicting scripts.
Apparently, the only thing harder than fighting the FDLR is getting the choir to sing from the same hymnbook. 🤣
RDC : La République démocratique des contradictions !
Les faits :
1ère vidéo : En Russie, Tshisekedi affirme que la RDC a regroupé les combattants FDLR présents sur le front dans l’Est du pays et les a transférés à Kitona. (aucune preuve concrète n’est présentée pour étayer cette affirmation.)
2ème vidéo : Le même jour, toujours en Russie, son ministre des Affaires étrangères dit que la RDC est bloquée dans la neutralisation des FDLR parce qu’ils se trouveraient dans des zones contrôlées par le Rwanda🤣🤣🤣.
On dirait que se mettre d’accord sur un même mensonge à relayer, c’est aussi difficile que de synchroniser une chorale de sourds. 🤣
