The sixth edition of Rwanda Day will bring together thousands of Rwandans living abroad and friends of Rwanda to Atlanta, Georgia. The event will be a celebration of 20 years of liberation (Kwibohora20) and the progress Rwanda has made, as well as a chance to discuss home grown solutions to our challenges as we continue to build a dignified nation.

 

President Kagame will deliver the keynote address followed by an interactive session with audience members.

 

This year, Rwanda Day will feature panel discussions on youth employment opportunities as well as discussions on economic self reliance and global dignity. Rwandan artists, including King James, Teta Diana, Alpha, K8 Kavuyo, The Ben, Meddy, Massamba Intore and Sophia Nzayisenga, will join guests in celebrating Rwanda Day. The event will be broadcast live in Rwanda, on TV, radio and onwww.rwandaday.org.

 

A job fair and an investment exhibition will also take place. The job fair will bring together Rwandans living abroad and employers in Rwanda to network and begin the recruitment process. The expo will showcase Rwandan products as well as opportunities to invest in key sectors such as mining, tourism, tea and coffee, real estate and construction and services.

 

Umuganura at Rwanda Day: On the night of September 20, a dinner will be held in the spirit of the traditional Rwandan first fruits festival known as Umuganura. Attached to this email is a fact sheet about Umuganura as well as Home Grown Solutions. The evening will end with performances from Rwandan artists living in Rwanda and in North America.

 

What is the #Twahisemo campaign? To mark Rwanda Day 2014, we are asking Rwandans and Friends of Rwanda to share the choices they are making as they join Rwanda's journey. This campaign echoes President Kagame's speech given to mark Kwibuka20. It is centred on the three choices Rwanda has made over the past twenty years - Staying Together, Being Accountable and Thinking Big. To join the campaign, simply share your choice on social media with the hash tags #RwandaDay and #Twahisemo.

Pourquoi les sanctions américaines contre le Rwanda sont-elles si importantes ?

Pourquoi les sanctions américaines contre le Rwanda sont-elles si importantes ? Auteur : The African Rights Campaign. Londres, Royaume-Uni Publié en : mars 2026   Introduction Lorsqu'un gouvernement est accusé d'exécutions extrajudiciaires, de déplacements massifs, de violences sexuelles, de violations des droits de l'homme et du pillage systématique des ressources naturelles d'un pays voisin, la réponse diplomatique attendue est un démenti catégorique, étayé par des preuves. Le Rwanda ne l'a pas fait. Lorsque le département américain du Trésor a imposé des sanctions aux Forces de défense rwandaises (FDR) et à quatre de leurs commandants les plus haut placés, le 2 mars 2026, la porte-parole officielle de Kigali, Yolande Makolo, a délivré une déclaration que les analystes diplomatiques étudieront attentivement pour ce qu'elle omet conspicuement. Elle a dit que les sanctions étaient « injustes », qu'elles ciblaient « uniquement...

Why US Sanctions Against Rwanda Are So Important

Why US Sanctions Against Rwanda Are So Important Author: The African Rights Campaign. London, UK Published: March 2026   Introduction When a government is accused of extrajudicial killings, mass displacement, sexual violence, human rights abuses, and the systematic pillage of another country's mineral resources, the expected response in international diplomacy is an unequivocal denial backed by evidence. Rwanda did not do that. When the United States Department of the Treasury imposed sanctions on the Rwanda Defence Force (RDF) and four of its most senior commanders on 2 March 2026, Kigali's official spokesperson Yolande Makolo made a statement that diplomatic analysts will study carefully for what it conspicuously omitted. She said the sanctions were 'unjust,' that they targeted 'only one party to the peace process,' and that they 'misrepresent the reality and distort the facts.' Rwanda's government, described by Bloomb...

Rubaya Mine Under USA’s Control: Kagame Has No Grounds to Object.

Rubaya Mine: Strategic Interests, Regional Conflict and the DRC–USA Cooperation Framework Rubaya mine, located in Masisi territory in North Kivu, eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, is a Congolese resource. It was a Congolese resource before the M23 advanced on it, it remains a Congolese resource today, and it will remain a Congolese resource regardless of what any regional actor claims, implies or pursues. That is not a political position. It is a statement of international law and sovereign right. This foundational point must be stated plainly because it is frequently obscured in discussions about the conflict in eastern Congo. Debates about security narratives, mineral partnerships and geopolitical alignment risk creating a false impression that Rubaya's ownership or governance is somehow open to negotiation between external parties. It is not. The Democratic Republic of the Congo holds sovereign authority over its territory and its natural resources. N...
