Rwandans must not settle for anything but the highest targets |
|
Musanze, 11 June 2013
This morning in Musanze, home of the mountain gorillas, President Kagame addressed thousands of residents during the last day of his two day visit in the Northern Province.
Welcoming President Kagame through her poem, Judith Mukamusoni, a 20 year old resident of Musanze, described Rwanda as a new nation:
“Today's youth are no longer instruments used to destroy their nation but encouraged to build their future. Rwanda is one that has a vision, fights injustice and stands for unity.”
President Kagame began by thanking Musanze residents for their hard work and called on all present to always strive to achieve more for the development of their community and nation:
“Our goal is for every Rwandan to live in safety, have equal opportunity and social-economic well being.”
President Kagame added that addressing the difficulties we face at home will ensure that Rwanda is able to solve external challenges:
“As we achieve our goals, we will face challenges. Let us begin by solving those we have within ourselves starting with achieving security and stability. It begins with each of us learning to live and work with each other”.

We must do what we can with what we have |
|
Musanze, 11 June 2013
President Kagame addressed over four hundred opinion leaders during a meeting held on the first day of his two day visit to Musanze District in the Northern Province.
President Kagame urged all leaders present to play their role in achieving both individual and national self reliance:
“We cannot wait to be given development. We must do what we can today and work hard to have what we want tomorrow.”
President Kagame then pointed to the continued imbalance between developed and developing nations:
“Those who are developed today, worked hard to be where they are, but to ensure that we remain dependent, they ordered developing nations to do as they were told. They told us our neighbor was our enemy, encouraged us to kill each other, took our resources and later gave some of it to us as aid. And we accepted it. ”

Nyakinama, 10 June 2013
Today, President Kagame Officiated the first graduation ceremony of the Rwanda Defense Forces Command and Staff College as part of his two day visit to the District of Musanze in the Northern Province.
Officiating the graduation ceremony for the 45 students that form the first graduating class of the RDF Command and Staff College, President Kagame emphasised the core values of Rwanda Defence Forces that should be upheld by all :
“Rwandans and Rwanda Defence Forces should be people who decide for themselves. We must be left to live our lives the way Rwandans want to live them. This course and those who attended it should enable this nation to continue on the journey of defining itself. The successes of the past and where we have taken our country are real and should not be mistaken by anyone as a myth.This is a new Rwanda.”
Reminding the graduands of the accusations Rwanda was facing when the college was inaugurated in July 2012, President Kagame pointed to the continuous bias in the newly selected United Nations Group of Experts on Great Lakes:
“The story has already been written.What makes them experts is that some of them come from our former colonial masters and some still believe that we must continue to be held on a leash by our colonial masters.”
