533 genocide convicts, including Joseph Ntawangundi (a close political aide to Victoire Ingabire, who accompanied her in Rwanda for her 2010 electoral bid), have completed their sentences and were released from prison.
They joined tens of thousands of others, who were discharged over the past 25 years.
This is the true meaning of "Rwandan exceptionalism" (Ubudasa).

This vile “attack in a dark alley” comment trivializes the FDLR’s murderous actions, as well as the Rwandan and Congolese lives endangered by the genocidal FDLR. This is how lightly the DRC government treats its own financing and support of the militia, instead of honouring its commitment in the Washington Accords to neutralize the FDLR. DRC officials touring the world to sanitize the FDLR and blame Rwanda will not deliver peace.
Mr. Nagy, a threat, perceived or real, is not equivalent to thousands killed and millions displaced. When you served in government, would you have equated fear of an attack in a dark alley with decades of violence, rape and forced displacement? “Sanction both sides” erases that distinction—and suggests Congolese lives count for less. They do not.
That is immersion, thank you Ali. Plus a few kinyarwanda words and you are ready to lead the conversations after Umuganda in your Umudugudu!!

Rwanda, allow me to brag about you for a moment. 🇷🇼😂
Some moments make you smile. Others make you stand a little taller as an African. This one did both.
One correction to my voice-over: Didace is First Counsellor, not Secretary. My enthusiasm clearly outran my protocol. 😂
Watch below. Pride means more when we give each other reasons to feel it.
Murakoze! 🌍👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿

The #FDLR persists because of those who enable it, mainly in #DRC, but never get held accountable.
Anti-Tutsi hatred cannot survive for decades on its own, it thrives when political and military actors tolerate, exploit and provide space for it, just like #Kinshasa has been doing.
Confronting the FDLR requires dismantling its hateful ideology, cutting off any support it receives, and holding both perpetrators and their enablers accountable.
Anything less allows the threat to endure.
The FDLR rebel group in DR Congo continues to promote anti-Tutsi ideology decades after Rwanda’s 1994 genocide, with former officers revealing how ethnic hatred fuels regional tensions. aljazeera.com/news/2026/10/2…

On behalf of the Commonwealth, I warmly congratulate @PaulKagame and the people of Rwanda on Rwanda ‘s 10-year agreement with Formula 1 to host the African Grand Prix.
This marks nearly 40 years since another Commonwealth African country, South Africa, hosted the South African Grand Prix at Kyalami in 1993 marking the sport's return to the African continent for the first time since 1993.

Yesterday, on the sidelines of @AFSICafrica 2026, RDB, in collaboration with @RwandaInUK, hosted a Business Networking and #InvestInRwanda session in London.
The event brought together prospective investors and stakeholders to discuss investment opportunities across Rwanda’s priority sectors, economic performance and business outlook.
Remarks by High Commissioner @BusingyeJohns and presentations by RDB and @Kigali_IFC, drawing on @statisticsRW data, provided insights into Rwanda’s investment landscape.

On behalf of the government and people of South Africa, I offer warm congratulations to His Excellency President @PaulKagame and the government and people of Rwanda on securing a 10-year agreement to host the Formula 1 African Grand Prix.
South Africa shares in the pride with which Rwanda is preparing to fly the chequered flag for our continent with the hosting of a globally prestigious event at the planned Bugesera circuit from the early 2030s.
This contract is a recognition of the capabilities of the Rwandan nation and of our continent more broadly.
As host of the first Grand Prix on African soil in 1993, and organiser of other major global events, South Africa will be happy to provide any support we may be invited to share.
The F1 African Grand Prix is another lustrous addition to Rwanda’s growing collection of top international events, including the UCI-classified Tour du Rwanda cycling race.
Congratulations, Rwanda.
You are in pole position to make all of Africa proud and take motorsport to new heights.
Busingye Johnston retweeted
Thank you my dear brother President @CyrilRamaphosa for your warm congratulations and offer of support. We look forward to working with you and all who share this vision as we make this a truly African Grand Prix in every way possible, and take motorsport to new heights on our continent.

“It is an honour and privilege for Rwanda to be chosen as a destination in the Formula One calendar. What brought us together is a shared conviction that Africa has the potential to elevate the quality of motorsports as a global and elite discipline.
Integrating African markets with global sports franchises and competitions offers transformative opportunities. Yet, if we have to be honest with ourselves, this cross-border connection has existed for a long time, just not in Africa’s favour.
The message for all of us is simple: sports is a great equalizer, but we have to be intentional about delivering this promise. Rwanda is happy and excited to be part of a journey that will change how Africa is perceived in the world of sports. We want to contribute, not just participate, and this new chapter in motorsports starts today" President Kagame | Formula 1 African Grand Prix Announcement
