“As leaders gathered here, if there is someone who thinks that anyone from the outside will come to save us, you are mistaken. As the saying goes, it is not the size of the dog in the fight, it is the size of the fight in the dog. The question, what is the fight in the dog? What is within us that will allow us to face the challenges of our country? We have to ask ourselves what our purpose is as leaders of this country, and remember that the foundation of all that we do is grounded in the principles of “Ndi Umunyarwanda.” Where Rwanda has come from, and where it is today, it is because of all of you here and the Rwandans you lead. The part they play is beyond any doubt. To ensure things continue to improve, you cannot become complacent because of the progress we have made and only be a beneficiary of the work others have done. Make sure you are not just carried along by others but that you are truly part of it, playing your role and making your contribution. That is essential and there is no way around it. We must have politics defined by purpose, vision and commitment. Those values should be reflected in the identity we see in each other.” President Kagame | 18th Unity Club Forum.
