Throwback: Last year I visited Rwanda’s Irembo platform, a true masterclass in digital sovereignty. 🇷🇼 ​While Namibia struggles with slow, fragmented systems hosted overseas, Rwanda built a centralized, fully digital government at home. They have local data centers, strong AI and data protection laws, and key partnerships with homegrown tech companies. ​Why do we constantly look to China and Europe for solutions when world-class e-governance is being built right here in Africa? 🇳🇦🌍 ​#EGovernance #DigitalSovereignty #Namibia #Rwanda #TechInAfrica

It's about time for some attention to the suffering of Congo's Tutsis. All focus seems to be on what Rwanda is doing wrong while the DRC's Govt gets a pass. Justice for Congo's Tutsis is a foundational problem which a long-term solution must address! theafricareport.com/415778/c…

Join us today for the ‘Walk to Remember’ On April 11, 1994, over 2,000 Tutsi were forced from the former ETO Kicukiro on a systematic "Death March" to Nyanza Hill. Abandoned by the world and pursued by grenades, guns machetes and other weapons. Today, we walk in their memory. 📍 IPRC Kigali → Nyanza-Kicukiro Memorial 🕒 3PM #Kwibuka32
