I don’t think we fully grasp the strides Rwanda has made in getting women into leadership positions until you look around the room and realize NBR Governor is the only woman at the table, AND on merit too, not just representation.
During the AFIS Annual Summit, Governor @SorayaMHlive participated at the AFIS Supervisory Council meeting, chaired by former Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), Dr. Patrick Njoroge. The meeting brought together fellow Central Bank Governors, financial institution leaders and representatives of multilateral institutions.
Discussions focused on addressing regional economic headwinds and advancing the AfDB-led New African Financial Architecture for Development (NAFAD). The key priorities for the year ahead include harmonizing regulatory frameworks, mobilizing domestic capital, bridging agricultural finance gaps, deepening capital markets, and strengthening governance through greater gender balance and board independence.

Now : someone may be able to explain why he ( Dangote) and his staff need visas to travel in different African countries!
From cement factories to oil refineries, fertiliser plants and cross-border fuel pipelines, Aliko Dangote is expanding his industrial footprint across Africa.
The Dangote Group's portfolio includes the US$20Bn refinery in Nigeria, alongside major operational cement investments in East, West and Southern Africa.
Its latest expansion plans include a US$16Bn oil refinery in Kenya, a US$2.5Bn fuel storage and pipeline project in Namibia, and a US$660Mn petroleum pipeline linking Ethiopia and Djibouti.
Here is a look at 10 of Dangote Group's major completed and proposed projects across the continent, their reported investment values and key milestones.

“We must educate people that if any project, irrespective of size, is feasible and looks profitable, the other problems to deal with are much simpler. That also calls for the integration of the markets, that’s why there is integration in our region, to make sure that the market grows in that regard. It is not just a small project in a small country but rather, a viable project in a growing market beyond the place where it is.
Certainly there have to be policies, there have to be institutions that allow this to happen and that is the responsibility of any government. So we insist on governance and growing strength of institutions and making sure there is a connection between the public and private sectors.” President Kagame
President Kagame joined Prime Minister Andrew Holness of Jamaica and Samoa’s Deputy Prime Minister Mulipola Anarosa Ale Molioʻo for a high-level panel on unlocking the Commonwealth’s potential and shaping a better future for its people. #CHOGM2026

After 115 kidney transplants performed in-country, Rwanda is now embarking on liver transplantation.
Minister of State @YvanButera met Prof. Dr. Hamdi Karakayalı, Director of the Liver and Kidney Transplantation Center and Chief Physician at Acıbadem Atakent Hospital, together with the Acıbadem Healthcare Group delegation from Türkiye.
They discussed working together to build liver transplant capacity in Rwanda, including training Rwandan specialists so that more patients can receive this life-saving care at home.

When are we going to start having a summit between one single African country and another continent? Europe/Asia/ North America, etc…since it’s always so and so country-Africa Summit.
Anyway, let’s first fix the rising prices kwa Murokore
Such a critical conversation and important interventions. How is Africa responding to and positioning itself amid the constant shifts in global energy landscape and what exactly does it mean for every other sector that depends on it?
The first panel is now underway, focusing on “Understanding Contemporary Energy Dynamics and Implications for Africa.”

• Electric vehicle (EV) drivers are seeking a clear justification for a proposed 20–30% increase in motor insurance premiums, citing already high repair costs and limited access to spare parts.
• The #Rwanda Insurers Association (ASSAR) said vehicle repair costs have more than doubled over the past four to five years, while motor insurance tariffs have remained unchanged for at least five years.
• Drivers said spare parts can take weeks or months to arrive, with import charges, shipping costs and specialised technology pushing up repair bills.
• CarIn Motor Ltd Executive Director Zhou Wenchen cited the example of a BYD battery costing about Rwf5 million in China but reaching Rwf7 million in #Rwanda before installation and servicing.
• The proposed adjustment is still under discussion among insurers, the Ministry of Finance, the National Bank of Rwanda, and other stakeholders. Final rates and an implementation date have not been agreed upon.

“The thought of our President one day leaving office does not frighten me. What frightens me is the thought of SOME of you in charge one day, in civil society, or in politics.”
Something has been sitting uneasily with me lately... 💭
People hold a great many opinions about a great many things - the Rwandan diaspora and returnees chief among them. Some grievances are entirely legitimate, and there is real cause for anger in them. Yet I keep wondering why, of all things, the life-threatening situation at our borders never seems to trouble anyyyy of you.
The génocidaires - those who dashed Tutsi babies against church walls in 1994 and vowed that day to return and finish their work - remain a threat. They and the children raised in their image sit a little farther from our borders now, though THEY ARE HARDLY GONE: politically active from our own region to Europe and America.
The western media you consume overflow with anti-Tutsi, anti-Rwanda hatred. Genocide ideology, plainly stated. Rwandans are called cockroaches daily, by the thousands, and you sleep soundly all the same.
I hear a great deal, too, about "us versus the government, the government against us," and so on - from people who style themselves decolonial activists, which I find rather (sad and) comic. Have you heard of our (and many African countries) precolonial political values? To be heard in the ordinary affairs and the great decisions of your country, you were expected to PARTICIPATE in its continual making and remaking. To sit apart, watching and commenting from the sidelines, was regarded as a kind of cheating, an antisocial posture.
The idea of "I'll just observe and offer my critiques from over here 💅🏽" would have been unthinkable. And I know you have your excuses ready - "we don't know enough, we aren't educated on these matters, it's too difficult" - and I now decline to buy them, having heard for YEARS upon years the refrain: "oh, I could never do what you do." What I do amounts to fighting an ideology; a task far simpler than you pretend. Often it asks nothing more than that you SHARE something on your socials - and even that proves too much. And rarely do these confessions “I could never do what you do” carry any note of genuine fragility, vulnerability, or solidarity. More often the tone is UNMISTAKABLE: "I know a few of you mad pple are carrying this weight, so I've decided I needn't bother."
These past weeks have left me con-fli-cted, because the question of women's safety in Rwanda is a true emergency - and I won't have my words twisted into something I never said. But some of you have simply discovered the pleasure of criticizing everything and anything, absent depth, absent receipts, absent participation; behaving like spoiled children grown too fond of the “comforts” of Ottawa and ugly Brussels (ew spare me), forever measuring wealthy nations against our own.
And now aparently you fret aloud - "who will be president next, I'm so worried blablabbla - while doing what, precisely? Do you belong to any local chapter, diasporic or national, of a political party? To an NGO? Have you put questions to your local leaders, offered them analysis, proposals? To your ambassador? To the head or the board of your diaspora association? And when they organise their COUNTLESS events, debates and congress, are you ever in the room? Rarely (And don't @ me if you actually do all this I'm clearly NOT talking about you).
Anyways - now I need to vent and I will write something on stupidity, and I mean this in no eugenic sense. Stupidity is far more dangerous than evil, serving as the very fuel evil requires to produce its effects, and it wears a great many faces: the refusal to educate oneself on certain matters, for instance the spectacle of people ignoring a whole global crisis while whining on X - "gneu gneu gneu, the government is covering something / hiding things from us" ... like really?...
So come for me; I don't mind. I'm seeing a great deal of stupidity lately. The thought of our President one day leaving office does not frighten me. What frightens me is the thought of SOME of you in charge one day, in civil society, or in politics. 😭

Rwanda plans to introduce nuclear power in the early 2030s, and @IAEAorg has been supporting the country along the way & will continue to do so.
Welcomed 🇷🇼 @RwandaInfra's @zimuyenzi at #IAEAGC where we also exchanged on Rwanda’s work to expand cancer care through #RaysOfHope, as well as the use of nuclear science for water security and climate-resilient agriculture.
Congratulations on two successful editions of the Nuclear Energy Innovation Summit on Africa (NEISA) in Kigali.

• BNR has raised #Rwanda’s Central Bank Rate (CBR) by 50 basis points, from 8.25% to 8.75%, as it seeks to contain rising inflation and guide it back towards the 2–8% target range.
• The rate hike is expected to make borrowing more expensive, potentially influencing household and business decisions on loans, spending, and investment.
• Higher interest rates may also encourage households and businesses to save more and limit unnecessary borrowing and consumption.
• Inflation rose from 9.1% in Q1 2026 to 13.2% in Q2, reaching 14.5% in July.
• Despite inflationary pressures, #Rwanda’s economy grew by 10% year-on-year in Q1 2026, while economic activity remained strong in Q2.
• BNR said the Monetary Policy Committee will continue to monitor economic conditions closely and remains committed to ensuring a return to the 5% inflation objective in the medium term.

One of the most interesting questions emerging from the Africa Mindset Reset Forum is whether every behaviour we describe as a “mindset problem” is actually a mindset problem. If initiative creates risk while doing nothing creates protection, people notice.
If experimentation is punished while conformity is rewarded, people adapt. If bureaucracy makes decisions costly, delay becomes rational. We cannot keep asking people to behave differently while leaving untouched the systems that shape what behaviour makes sense.
A genuine reset must change not only how we think, but what our institutions reward, measure, tolerate and make possible. #MindsetRest2026 #AfricaResets

“I am addressing young people here who are aspiring to be leaders. It is in your capacity, in your ability, in every possibility, to give your life a purpose and to make a choice. A choice that you know if you have made it, it is not just going to be confined to your life, but has impact on other people’s lives.
That is why it’s important when people are talking about why we should work together, continentally. Because not working together, what purpose does it serve? Who benefits from it? I just want to say, give it a try, you fail, you make a loss here, you make a gain here, but you stay the course. Keep going.” President Kagame | Africa Mindset Reset Forum 2026
