This is a marathon not a sprint and we may not cross the finish line this lifetime but in the spirit of the relay race we will keep on passing the baton and the race to freedom and liberation for all will ALWAYS continue.

Thank to everyone standing up, sitting down and speaking up in this moment.

Even after 6yrs of #LivingInKigali #CarFreeSunday never gets old! It only gets better! I am loving all of the new activities that are constantly being added.

Thank you City of Kigali for supporting healthy lifestyles year round. 🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️

Well said Arun Shanmuganathan!

'In the past, I didn't smile... there was nothing to smile about. But with some progress [in Rwanda], I can afford to smile once in a while'~President Kagame

I can’t get enough of this smile 🥰

“Never wait for rescue, or ask for permission to do what is right to protect people.” HE Paul Kagame

#Kwibuka30

WATCH: Cities around the world show solidarity with #Rwandan -s💙💛💚. From Delhi🇮🇳, Paris🇫🇷, Dakar🇸🇳, Addis🇪🇹 to Cotonou🇧🇯. #Kwibuka30

If you ask someone who they are but then state a long list of critiques others have of them, you're no longer asking who they are. You're now asking them to defend themselves against what others say about them.

That is not a question, it is not unbiased, and it is not open-ended

'Ask not what your president can do for you but what his smile can do for you.'- never has anyone said...

This reporter just asked President Paul Kagame 'Why don't you smile so people will like you more?'

-I have seen President Kagame smile & laugh plenty in my 6yrs in Kigali.
-Please don't bring your cultural expectations here
-His work counts more than his smiles

Today marks the beginning of #Kwibuka30 . 30 years since the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.

As Rwandans of course know, but as other readers might not, the word “Kwibuka” is a Kinyarwanda word. It means “To Remember.”

This August will mark three years since SOLA…

Ethiopia has lit buildings Rwandan flag colours in solidarity with Rwandans during the commemoration of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. #Kwibuka30

And stay out of our business as we rebuild our country and continent. Lastly, the US gov't unwillingness to name the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi, by it's true name isn't surprising! Much of the violence perpetuated against their own black citizens is still...3/

I am one of those mentioned by the Pres. Paul Kagame who benefited from the generosity of #SouthAfrica when they opened up universities to #Rwanda -n students to pay local fees, I will forever be thankful for that 🙏🏾
