In Rwanda, critical thinking does not exist anymore. What exists is collective stupidity

Thank you His Excellency for your visionary leadership that calls on citizens to think independently while acting collectively in service of the nation.

Serving Rwandans also means knowing when to step down. You've been president of Rwanda for three decades; at this rate, Jesus Christ will return and Rwanda will have only had four presidents. Rwanda only has 14 million inhabitants, I remind you. It's time to give others a chance

True strength is when independent minds choose collective action. When we unite our personal purpose with our shared duty, we build a Rwanda where everyone rises together.🤩👏🏿 Together,the only way is up...!🇷🇼🦁✊🏿

What is the meaning of thinking individually and acting collectively? Is it some deep message, empty rhetoric or magical fantasy. If we invert it, are they being cautioned against " thinking collectively and acting individually?"

“Why Heroes Day? It is because every nation or people of this World find themselves in one situation or another, or circumstances, that also informs and influences their actions and struggles. So this was a moment to remind us of our own struggle as a nation; what we have gone through, what we are going through, and what is expected of us in the end to triumph. All that is what reminds us of where we should start from,” President Kagame.

"Our duty is to serve Rwandans and our country. We are part of Rwandans, but we don’t work for ourselves. We work so that others benefit. And when the country progresses, we also benefit. People should not take on responsibilities only thinking about themselves. Our first concern must always be the interests of Rwandans. That is the foundation."

“If the entire world can mobilize against Rwanda, perhaps we are more extraordinary than we realize. When you look at our small Rwanda on a map, it is so small that it should even be hard for them to notice; yet the world mobilizes against Rwanda. But still we overcome and move forward. When facing these challenges, external or internal, you cannot be the kind of leader who makes excuses, telling people that you forgot, that you assumed this or that. Everything must return to the principles of the RPF. We must ask: what is it that the RPF should stand for?” Chairman Kagame | 17th RPF Congress

“When people face challenges like ours or have experienced a history similar to what we have gone through, there must be transformation. We must change in our hearts and in the way we do things. That is what is essential and fundamental so that the history that once defined us disappears, fades away, and vanishes. We must take actions that clearly show everyone that Rwanda is no longer what it was 30 years ago; look at what they [Rwandans] say, look at what they do, and see how they are transforming the lives of their fellow Rwandans. This is critical and cannot be overlooked. Even today, if you search the internet, you will still find people speaking ill of Rwanda and its leaders, distorting everything to make it appear negative. When people unite, like what Unity Club represents, unity, it reflects a broader goal for the entire country. The country should be like Unity Club. When falsehoods are spread or bad things are said or done to Rwanda, if people are united, driven by the same purpose and the determination to ask, ‘Why? Why do people portray us like this? Why do we allow such things to define us?’ Then all those insults and lies become meaningless.” President Kagame | 17th Annual Unity Club Forum.

“When we started this journey, we committed ourselves to be self-reliant, as individuals and as a country, so that our existence would not depend on luck, or on the goodwill of others who might choose to help us today and withdraw tomorrow, with harmful consequences, as you all know. Self-reliance, therefore, is our main priority, it is our objective, and it is a responsibility that belongs to all of us, one that everyone of us must embrace and work towards.” President Kagame | #Umushyikirano2026

“Resilience must be in everything we do. We must build families that are resilient, individuals must build themselves to have resilience, and from that, the country itself becomes resilient. Rwanda has been resilient. If Rwanda had not been resilient, you would not be sitting here today; none of us would be here. We would be on the streets begging, or we would not exist at all. Our people who died have departed, but for those of us who are still alive, their death should not be in vain.” President Kagame | National Prayer Breakfast

“Our journey is always filled with different struggles. By struggles, I mean both the real battles we fight and the strategic thinking and actions we must take to develop our country and improve the lives of Rwandans. The real battle I mentioned earlier, you know it well, don’t you? How could you not? It is that same battle, the one that involves fire. This is the life we lead; this is how our history has shaped us; we have to keep fighting this never ending battle, in all its different dimensions.” President Kagame | #KwegeraAbaturage

“But even as things change, and they must change continually, not everything changes. There is always something that remains constant: who you are, and the values and aspirations that define how you should live and respond in the midst of change. The core must remain constant. In governance, the principles we must uphold are rooted in our history, our words, and the actions we strive for. The RPF has always said we must fight corruption. That principle does not change. The idea of fighting corruption from 31 years ago cannot be abandoned simply because we now live in a world that tolerates corruption, whatever that world may be. Rather, what changes are the methods we use to fight it. The principle itself does not change.” Chairman Kagame | 17th RPF Congress

As we remember Bucha, we ask: what will war and threats look like tomorrow – for Europe, for all of us? We must not let Europe’s enemies answer this question for us, or before us. This is very serious. If we have programs like SAFE, we must make them truly modern and effective. Europe should produce not just what it knows, but what really works in today’s war and what is proven by today’s war. And countries already working with us on joint production understand this. Ukraine has this experience. Now, as our expert teams work in the Middle East and the Gulf, we see that our experience in protecting lives and critical infrastructure is, in many ways, unique. I say this not just out of pride. This is about security. Ukraine’s experience in defense is a real security guarantee for Europe. So I propose that we work together to modernize our defense. From an address at the meeting of EU Foreign Ministers (4/5)

Kamala explains to Don Lemon the power of hope: “I really, truly believe this. We we each have have light inside of us. And we need to know that that is what inspires our hope as much as anything external to ourselves. And when we feel that and and and not allow an election or an individual to dampen that light, and instead light, let that light kind of carry us in particular through moments of darkness, that that we not only act on that hope, but we inspire that hope in each other. And in particular, at this moment, it is so important that we not only have hope, but that we understand that that should be a verb."

“We went through a very dark chapter. But is that who we were meant to be? Is that what Rwandans wanted for themselves? Even if some people at the time wanted it that way, our responsibility today is to say: no. It is our history, but it is not who we should have been, and it is not who we should become. That is what liberation means. It means that, as Rwandans, we freed ourselves. You live for what you truly believe in, to the point where, if necessary, you are ready to die for it. That is where Rwanda stands today, whether some people like it or not.” President Kagame | Unity Club Meeting.

“I want to tell you that being yourself, standing firm in your identity, is not easy, it is an arduous task. Just like liberating this country. It required sacrifices, and some had to give up the most valuable thing a person has: life itself. Rwandans sacrificed their lives so that our country could become what it deserved to be. We Rwandans must be ready to tighten our belts. And not just tightening belts, we must fight for our rights. It is our duty to fight for our rights.” President Kagame | #KwegeraAbaturage

There is no reason why we should lack the strength, the determination, or the knowledge about what we need to do, how we need to do it, and how to lift ourselves from where we are to where we want to be.

Look at Siang river. Muddy, and coming to us from beyond our borders. Look at the tributary rising from our own land, clean and clear. There is a lesson in this contrast. We may not have control over what the Siang brings to us from upstream. But we do have control over what we do on our side. We must prepare, strengthen and build resilience, so that what we cannot control does not overwhelm us.
