“We want to harness the good of AI through industry, through policy making, and making sure that really we get the results. That is the most important thing.” President Kagame | #AIforGood Global Summit 2026

“Today, connectivity is no longer the end goal. We are now transitioning to the era of data-driven growth. Artificial intelligence is the common denominator that will redefine healthcare, education and energy, among many other sectors. As a commission, our mission is to ensure this transformation does not widen existing divisions. The task ahead of us is urgent, but we will face challenges. The objective isn’t just to have a conversation. It is to ensure everything we agree to do, gets translated into tangible and practical outcomes.” President Kagame President Kagame joined fellow Co-Chair Marc Benioff and Vice-Chair Doreen Bogdan-Martin for a fireside chat marking the launch of the AI for Good Global Commission.

“Artificial intelligence has the power to transform lives and strengthen economies. Africa is well-positioned to contribute to the digital economy. By 2050, our continent will have the largest, fastest-growing workforce in the world. There are many success stories about what our young people are doing on the continent with artificial intelligence. We have to invest in them. It will be a win-win for everyone. The bottom line, is that for A.I. to serve humanity as a whole, we must get it right in Africa and everywhere else.” President Kagame | #AIforGood Global Summit 2026

“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.

“Do we really accept that, as black people, we are somehow less human and inferior? Accepting it is not simply a matter of saying “yes.” No one will ask you that question directly. You can even say “no,” but if you behave in the very ways that brought us to the kind of history we have lived through, then, in reality, you have accepted it. You have diminished yourself. And your actions become the evidence. The evidence is in doing the very things that others did, or in trying to justify them with explanations that should never be accepted. There are no two ways about it. Good politics and a good ideology produce positive outcomes. Bad outcomes come from bad ideas. You do not need any other evidence. Many of you are still young. You go abroad to study. Under normal circumstances, there is nothing they know that you cannot also learn. But you can come back having absorbed ideas without questions, ideas that take you away from who you are and try to turn you into something else, something that is not yours. Whether those ideas are good or bad, there is one illness I do not think we will cure anytime soon: when, in your own mind, you stop being yourself and begin wishing you were somebody else. Why would you want to become someone else? To achieve what? In our own history, with everything we have been through, that is exactly how we lost our way. And then you wait for someone from outside to tell you, “This is wrong,” and you immediately agree, without realizing that what is being condemned is you. It is about stripping you of your identity, and you willingly accepting it.” President Kagame | Unity Club Meeting.

Why are younger generations getting cancer earlier? ⚠️Accelerated biological aging is a factor: more sitting, ultra processed foods, obesity & poor sleep. ✅Move more and enjoy ☀️, eat whole foods 🥗, sleep well 😴 Small habits improve long-term health. nature.com/articles/s4159…

100 transplants. Lives renewed. Expertise built. A strong foundation for the future of transplantation in Rwanda. Our appreciation to the many teams & partners behind this milestone. We are also grateful to Prof. Jeffrey Punch @UMich for his steadfast support from the outset.

Rwanda’s story shows nations aren’t defined by their darkest chapters, but by what they build afterward. What the world sees reflects resilience, leadership, and efforts of Rwandans & partners. Proud of how far we have come, focused on the journey ahead. usnews.com/news/best-coun…

With Rwanda still at zero cases of Ebola Virus Disease, we remain committed to preparedness. Our success is grounded in partnerships—within institutions, across borders, and mainly through the support and trust of Rwandan citizens and residents. #Highlight

“Leaders often should not look at themselves alone. They are supposed to come last, not first, in sharing the benefits that come from doing things well. Too often, however, it is evident that some people put their own interests first. Many even add arrogance to it, forgetting that ours is a service to the nation, not a contest between one person and another. The interests of the country must always come first. And when you serve the country well, the truth is that you too are among those who benefit. What matters is for people to see their duty that way.” President Kagame | Swearing-in Ceremony of New Government Officials
